Problems with ICS

Hello there,

I have some trouble setting up ICS.

After reinstalling my system because of some serious damage to the
filesystem i wanted to set up my private network.

My computer is connected to a public campus LAN through a standard
onboard-NIC. I'd like to activate ICS for that NIC so i can share this
computer's internet connection to some other devices like my laptop and some
bluetooth gadgets.
So far i just had to set up the ICS for this NIC and everything worked fine.

Now here comes the problem: ICS is not available for this NIC. It's not even
"greyed out", it's simply gone.

I tried telling the "Network Setup Wizard" that this NIC is connected to the
internet, and THIS ICS should be able to share its connection. After showing
me some nice animations the wizard jut tells me, that he was unsuccessful:
"Cannot Complete the Network Setup Wizard
An error occured during configuration of the network on this computer.
You can configure your network manually, or you can run the wizard again
with different settings."
(I'd love to configure everything manually, but as already mentioned, ICS is
gone.)

Are there any possibilities or configurations, that i've not considered?
Maybe there's some registry hack, which may release the ICS-blockade for
this NIC?

Pawel


PS: My computer also has a firewire device. The odd thing about that: ICS is
fully available for the firewire device.

I forgot to mention that i do not use any third party networking software
and all drivers are completely up to date.
