Hi Carey: Thanks for your reply. In the link the solution offered says:
RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, turn off ICS on the host computer. To do this:
Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click
Internet Options.
On the Connections tab, click Sharing.
Click to clear the Enable Internet Connection Sharing check box, and then
click OK.:
The problem is : on my connection tab, there is no "sharing" button. What to
do ?
