WCF,
The laptop seems to be configured fine.
Interesting that the PC fails the last 2. That means that the IP stack works, but name resolution and IP address configuration is up the spout.
Are you sure that you are configuring the LAN adapter with the 192.168.x.x address - rather than the PPP/SLIP dial-up adapter?
The bridge is interesting - with Internet Connection Sharing, the PC has to have one network (via dial-up modem) connecting to the internet and another talking to your laptop, so that is definitely the area to concentrate your efforts. If you can get the PC to ping its name and address, you should be able to get the 2 systems to talk to each other.
I don't use ICS, so I can't help much more on that, I'm afraid
I would be inclined to remove all networking components from the PC and re-install them, as it seems that the wizard may have screwed up some IP stuff.
Can you get to a stable point where the PC can connect to the internet on dial-up, then add the local network, then set up ICS?
Good luck.
