Right, the two boxes now talk to each other. No problems with that.
What I can't figure out is this whole interweb connection sharing buisness. Like I said we've got an ADSL modem going in to me bro's box via USB. This is why his box is firewalled, see?
Anyway, I've tried running the interweb sharing wizard gizmo on both boxes, but all that does is stop them communicating all together. Perhaps it's not taking in to account the fact they're connected directly rather than via a hub.
So anyone that can offer some inspiration, please fire away

Host:Protocols: TCP-IP + Netbeui (can't hurt)
IP 192.168.0.1
mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: blank
Domain: Workgroup (Case sensitive IIRC)
Share something (CDROM, HDD, Folder, whatever)
Right click on DSL connection and click share connection and dial on demand or whatever it's called.
Create a user for the connecting PC and give it a the same login/password as the guest PC. (also case sensitive)

Fill out your provider's DNS IP too.
Domain: Identical to host (remember case sensitivity)
Go to internet options and choose connect via LAN.
Reboot both muters, host first (not 100% necessary but often works out a login glitch).
Open a browser on the second muter and see if you can pull up a page.
