    Please Help!!!

    I am trying to network 3 computers together!! Setup as follows:

    Machine #1: Windows XP Home (connects to the internet using USB Modem)

    Machine #2: Windows XP Pro Laptop

    Machine #3: Windows 2000

    Can get internet on all 3 machines via ICS but can only network the XP Home machine & Windows 2000 machine. The XP Pro machine will not network at all!!!!!

    Any help would be greatly received. :)
