Adsl router????WTF???
aol?????
and the only problems ur having are connecting?

Lol, but you shouldn't be nasty

You say you started "Internet Connection Sharing"

You don't start ICS if you are using a router, ICS is for connecting 2 PC's to the net when you don't have a router. One computer connects to the Modem directly and you use a cross-over cable to connect pc2 to pc1

With a router you "SET UP A HOME/SMALL BUSINESS NETWORK" if you want to share files and printers etc
You dont have to do anything to get them both on the internet


So your AOL MODEM plugs into the ROUTER
Then you have 2 ethernet cables, one for each pc correct?

Does the internet work on both NOW ??

If so you may need to configure your router for some ports to let BF2 connect
The ports needed are in the BF2 Manual, page 18
Refer to your Router Manual on how to put them in (port forwarding)


Have you made sure any software firewalls you are using are allowing BF2 to connect ?

i didn't mean ICS (Internet connection sharing) i just meant sharing the internet in general.
