Shaz4444 Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 I have my laptop using wireless connection to my router for internet access. Internet works fine on the laptop. Now I have another desktop PC connected thru my laptop using crossover cable to my laptop(rj-45). But I still can't browse the internet on the desktop? How can I browse the internet on my desktop? Both operating sys Win Xp home edition.
nuSharper Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 you need to setup ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on your laptop. you do it from the Network applet on the Control Panel. i've never done so i cant help you anymore. it's simple though. search for "Windows XP ICS" on Google.
Shaz4444 Posted January 3, 2009 Author Posted January 3, 2009 Ya I did it, thru ICS on laptop(allow network access to other computers thru this in Advanced Tab) & then ICS on desktop. Thanks.
