It seems like you are trying to set up file sharing and internet sharing between two PCs connected via a crossover Ethernet cable, with one PC connected to the internet through a D-Link DSL-200 USB ADSL WAN Modem. Here's a step-by-step guide to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issues you are facing:

Step 1: Check Network Settings​

1. Verify Network Adapter Configurations:
   • Ensure that the IP addresses of both PCs are in the same subnet but different from the D-Link modem's subnet.
   • Set static IP addresses on both PCs within the same subnet range (e.g., 192.168.0.x).

     Step 2: Enable Sharing Options​

   []Check Network Discovery and File Sharing:
   • On both PCs, ensure that network discovery and file sharing are turned on.
   • Open "Network and Sharing Center" > "Change advanced sharing settings" and enable these options.

     Step 3: Set Up Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)​

   []Configure ICS on the First PC:
   • Go to the network adapter settings of the Realtek RTL8168B/8111B NIC on the first PC.
   • Enable Internet Connection Sharing for the adapter connected to the D-Link modem.

     Step 4: Verify Firewall and Security Settings​

   []Firewall and Security:
   • Temporarily disable the firewall on both PCs to check if it's blocking the connection.
   • Make sure any security software is not interfering with the network.

     Step 5: Create a HomeGroup​

   []Create a HomeGroup:
   • Try creating a HomeGroup on one PC and join the same HomeGroup on the second PC.
   • This should facilitate easier sharing of files within the same HomeGroup.

     Step 6: Resolve Unidentified Network Issue​

   []Fix Unidentified Network:
   • If the network is showing as Unidentified, try restarting the network adapters or troubleshoot the network connection to identify the issue.

     Step 7: Troubleshoot Internet Connectivity​

   []Internet Access on Second PC:
   • If the second PC doesn't have internet access, check the network adapter settings and ensure that the correct connection is configured for internet sharing.

     Step 8: Test File and Internet Sharing​

2. Test File Sharing and Internet Access:
   • Once all settings are configured, test file sharing between PCs and check if the second PC can access the internet through the first PC.
