SOMEBODY HELP ME!
 
Well, I've set up a network between two computers, both have windows XP. I have file sharing and ICS enabled, so I can use internet on both computers. Now, here is the problem. Every time the computer set up as the internet gateway is restarted...the network settings are basically reset. My internet name + password are reset, file sharing gets turned off, and so does ICS. I cannot figure out why this happens but I would really like to know. Please help me if you know what the problem is!!!

But you need to run a software firewall just in case
