the 2 nic's and so her connection will go through my pc.

i have run the wizard on my machine and used the netsetup program to config
the other pc, and its fine i can share and map folders between them without
problems but i cannot get the internet to work on her machine. i've turned
off all the fire walls and still nothing.

These tests should help you find the problem:

1. On your computer, right click the home or local area network
connection and click Status | Support | Details. It should show:

IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: none
DNS Server = none

2. On her computer, right click the local area network connection and
click Status | Support | Details. It should show:

IP Address: 192.168.0.x (1<x<255)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server = 192.168.0.1

3. If #1 and #2 are right, open a command prompt window on her
computer and enter these lines. Each one should get four replies:

ping 192.168.0.1
ping 216.239.39.99
ping google.com

4. If #1-#3 are right, enter these addresses in Internet Explorer on
her computer. They should both go to the Google web page:

http://216.239.39.99
http://google.com
