Default ICS Connection unresponsive

Hi all,

AOL is my current ISP, but to save time and to allow me to connect my xbox to the internet, I connect to the internet via an ICS connection.

However, when I click on ICS connection, nothing happens. And when I attempt to change the settings, my computer as good as freezes and I have to close explorer.

I have tried ipconfig /renew /release /flushdns etc but to no avail.

No idea what is stopping me from selecting it and connecting to the internet through it.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
I think that it was much more than just an ICS problem, as a lot of my programs were laggy/buggy. In the end I just reinstalled XP.
ICS connection still not working though. But I think I should be able to fix it.
Thanks again.
