problem on internet connection sharing

[franzeed]

i have a hard time setting up my computer for internet
connection sharing. i followed the instructions on ICS
posted at viperlair.com but it didn't help. my desktop
is running on windows xp with 2 local area
connections. my internet is via DSL connected to local
area connection 1 on my desktop. Then another intenet
wire connects form local area connection 2 on my
desktop to my ASUS laptop (client computer). im having
problem with the ASUS laptop (client computer) not
receiving internet connection despite doing this:

1. setting up my desktop for internet connection
sharing usinng network connection wizard on my
desktop. Then i manually placed the IP address
192.168.0.1 and 255.255.255.0 at local area connection
2 because it did not automatically registered that IP
address (192.168.0.1 and 255.255.255.0). I run the
command prompt in my ASUS laptop (C:\ ipconfig renew
thing).
2. reinstalling the LAN driver of my laptop. my ASUS
laptop also runs in windows xp

My ASUS laptop has "limited or no connectivity". While
on the desktop it says "local area connection 2 is
connected". when i checked on the status of local
area connection on the laptop i noticed that it can
send thousands of packets but receives zero sometimes
tens or hundreds of packets. when i checked on the
status of local area connection 2 on the desktop it
receives zero packets and sents thousands of packets.
Im not sure if this is exactly what i observed but it
similar to this:my laptop sents but doesnot
receive packets or the opposite and my desktop sends but
doesnot receive packets; they are opposite the other
computer receives packets and the other only sends
packets).

this is the first time it happened. few weeks ago my
laptop can received internet connection coming from my
desktop or thru an internet hub. Now it turned like
this. it can only received internet connection when i
directly connect my laptop to the my DSL modem. could
it be a bug? my laptop uses AVG FREE as an antivirus
and it detected trojan horse dropper CBV in my laptop.


I hope with all the explanations and descriptions i
made somone could help me with this.

Thank You

Well if you had a Trojan Horse Dropper...I would suggest cleaning off the PC entirely before attempting anything else. It will only cause more problems if you leave it alone and it could very well be forming an issue with your networking stuff as well.
