I have setup ICS on the second computer downstairs so that I can connect the xbox to live downstairs when mates come round etc (as my room is small) but when I connect online I get 'this page cannot be displayed' also on the connection sharing box theres an option of 'connect to the internet using' with a drop down box with only one option and that option being 'dial-up adapter' I'm convinced that's the problem as I'm using broadband only there's no option to select I'm using an ADSL adapter.

This is probably a long shot seeing as 98se is ancient now but any help atall would be fully appreciated.

SO am i right in thinking:

PC > ADSL Router > Internet

XBox connects directly to the ADSL Router?

So on the 98SE computer you get Page Not Found? And the network isn't connected? I see a pattern here...

Besides, if the network stuff isn't installed then that's why there isn't anything except your 56k modem in the drop down box...?

Well I know the usb modem worked perfectly before I installed ICS, when I click connect on the desktop, it connects as usual and says connected at x bps but it doesn't seem to be getting through to Internet explorer.
