problems with ICS

[virtuosity9]

I have a home network with two computers sharing the internet through ICS. One problem I have is that I can't access one computer from the other computer through the network neighborhood. When I click the network neighborhood icon, I see the entire network icon but when I try to double click that, windows says unable to browse the network. I tried going through the network troubleshooter but that didn't help. The other problem with my network is my host computer keeps freezing very often, perhaps after it is on the network for a few hours. When I disable the network, the host computer is much more stable. How can I try to fix these problems?

Thanks,
virtuosity

Could you list some more details about your system?

Operating system?

Hardware?

NIC manufacturer?

IRQ's?

Netbeui could solve the LAN problem.
