Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) and Ad-Hoc

I'm trying to set up an ad-hoc internet connection on my X50v with internet connection sharing (ICS) in windows xp. Anyone know how to do it? ( if so, please tell me! )


Here is what I did:
1. Changed Axim name from pocket_pc to GXT
2. Set up an open, unsecured Ad-hoc network on my windows computer and my pocketPC (called GabeRebirth)
3. Manually set the IP address of the computer to 192.168.0.3 with domain 192.168.0.1
4. Put my PPCs IP the same as computer's but with a 2 as the last number instead of 3 (192.168.0.2)
5. I disabled windows firewall.
6. I enabled ICS on my computer's dial-up connection, using my computer's Wireless Connection as the gate

SPECIFIC:
7. On my PPC, changed both internet access types to use "My Work Connection" and not "My ISP"
8. Under "My proxy server" I checked the first option, "This network connects me to the internet.", leaving everything else in there blank.
9. I turned powersave mode OFF for my pocket PC wireless.


RESULTS:
It turns out I can share all my files!!! But that's not what I was looking for. When I opened PIE, it kept saying "Page cannot be found." No internet applications worked.

Why? It seems the connection is present (obviously, because I can access my computer's files!!), but the internet portion is not (or is disregarded). Anything specific I might want to check?
