Can you expand on your advice a little?

I have NTL Broadband: the cable modem connects directly to the upstairs desktop puter. Desktop runs W2000 and has a VPN connection to my remote company network. This runs OK with Norton AV on the desktop.

Now daughter No 1 with her Sony laptop running XP Home wants to share my broadband connection. Questions:

(1) Can W2000 do ICS with XP?
(2) What sort of wireless router to buy?
(3) I am told that NTL don't like sharing on their residential lines in case customers get ideas about setting up internet caffs, so they "do things" to make it difficult.
(3) The techies at the office say there may be problems if I maintain the VPN connection whilst sharing.
