I really wouldnt worry to much.

Like i said use the Windows Defrag tool. If it doesnt initiate just contact ms and they'll sort it.

Wouldnt buy a new hard drive just because of it.

Tis a bit vague isn't it? What protocols are you using? Static or fixed IP addresses? (if using TCP/IP) Have you set up the ICS properly?

both machines need IP's, pref on same subnet, like one box might have:
192.168.0.1
other will have:
192.168.0.2

machine that is connected to the BB modem will need some sort of software to share the internet connection, do it NAT stylie.

Dunno when ICS came standard in windaz, i think WindowsME/Win2k? correct me if wrong.

If your running win98 or something you can always try something like WinRoute which is pretty fun.

ICS = Internet Connection sharing , or something.

once the machine is acting as a gateway for the LAN, say 192.168.0.1 is the gateway, then jump onto the 192.168.0.2 machine, networking settings, tcp/ip lala, gateway, put in 192.168.0.1, and for DNS settings put in your ISP DNS servers (this is so you can point your browser to websites such as www.google.co.uk
