Cannot Access Internet On Vista Laptop From Networked XP Desktop

I have a slight problem. I have been able to successfully network my XP
desktop to my Vista laptop. I can share files between both and do pretty much
anything ... except connect to the Internet. I can see the Internet logo in
the map but there is an "X" between my the network name and the Internet
logo. I have tried just about everything that I can think of. Any help at
this time would be greatly appreciated.
