I meant to say the CLIENT PC cannot browse the web, the host PC is the
one
with the always on BB, and it is connected to the web as normal.


Firewall?

I am running Zonealarm on both PCs. I am reluctant to try without them for
security reasons as I had my FW down for 2 minutes recently and got
infected with two pretty bad virus.

It's about the only thing I have not tried though....



I think you've found your problem.....disconnect your modem, then disable ZA
on BOTH pcs and see if you can do simple file sharing....if file sharing
then works you know your problem and need to allow ICS and XP Filesharing to
bypass the firewall/go straight through it.....
