I'm running XP, SP3; Windows Mobile 6.1. When i connect the
data-plan-enabled Touch to my old laptop via USB and fire up Internet
Connection Sharing on the phone, the PC sees it no problem and i'm able to
browse the web with my phone providing access. When i try the same thing on
a new laptop, it sees the phone and says i'm connected, however i can't
browse anything. Looking at the connection status, it shows lots of packets
being sent out when i open IE, but not more than 1, 2, 3, or 4 packets ever
returned.

I'm getting an IP address from the phone as expected, just not able to do
anything with it. The data plan works fine and i can browse the web
directly from the phone. Both systems are running XP SP3 and are configured
more or less identically. Bluetooth doesn't work either.

I've reset the phone and the new system multiple times to no avail.
Activesync works fine.

I tried something like that once with my Sprint Touch Diamond. I didn't use
ICS. Instead I bridged two networks but then the computer tethered to my
Diamond couldn't see the Internet but the one hooked to that computer with a
cross over cable could.
