I have 2 PC's in the same room, PV1 is connected to internet with cable modem via usb, I have installed an ethernet card in each pc and ran a cat5 crossover cable between them. I have tried every way I can to get the internet sharing to work, but no luck.I have done IP address automatic and I have assigned IP address manually, and still no luck. Can someone give me some pointers. I need the help. Thanks.

Firsdt, make sure that internet connection sharing is enabled for this connection. Then make sure the 2nd computer (the one w/o internet connection) is set to obtain IP automatically. Then make sure it is automatically pulling an IP address (should be in the 192.x.x.x range). If it still does not work, make sure each computer can ping the other. If they can, it is most lieky an issue with the way that your ICS is set up, so I would look at the way it is set up.
