    done that mate, but on the other pc its not connecting to the internet. When i try and access IE i get a message asking me to connect to the internet. Could it be because i have setup a manual ip on the network?

    You should have network set to DHCP not static on the second PC.

    Check it has an IP address and the DHCP server where it got the IP from.

    Could be firewall on the sharing computer that is blocking it ?
