Boy, took a while to find that info, eh?

As to the network issue, Windows connection sharing (which seems to be what you are trying to use) isn't the greatest. Tell us about that modem; just what type of modem is it? If it's a high speed modem, cable or DSL, have you ever heard of routers? Some newer modems even have a router built in, but if not they have become dirt cheap and will resolve the problem for you if you are not talking about a dial up connection (and there are even a few routers that will support a dial-up modem).
