Internet connection via network no longer working

You could try restarting the "Internet connection firewall/ICS service" on the desktop machine, assuming you have any processing power left to carry this out.

Right click my computer - manage - services and applications - services, in the right hand pane click the aformentioned service and in the top tool bar click on the restart service. May save you restarting the whole box and worth a try.

I don't have that option, but I'm guessing here if I go to Start/Run/services.msc it will go to the same place?

Actually it's not on this listing, is there another way of getting there?

is there another way of getting there?

Yep, try Start/Backdoor/Shed/toolbox/Hammer

Actually knew how to et there I meant to say that ICS isn't on the Services listing, under "ICS" or "Internet Connection Sharing". Is it called something else?

Take that back, it comes after Internet Firewall etc....just a really long name that needed the column extended to see

Sorry

"Internet Connection Firewall(ICF)/ Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)" is the full name listed. Appears just after Indexing Service in my console.

Don't mention it mate. Working mainly on servers doesn't allow for much re-booting to be done, people tend to notice, so I rely a bit on being able to do service re-starts.
