How to configure Internet Gateway on Dial-up?

[Spinman]

After a long week of network learning curve problems - the end is in sight!

I now have a peer-to-peer network functioning (2 machines connected via a switch). Both are running XP-Home-SP2.

I use dial-up, not broadband - so now I'm trying to configure my internet gateway on the non-modem equipted machine, so that it also has internet access.

Naturally, the machine with the modem has a static IP address of 192.168.0.1, while the 2nd machine has an IP address of 192.168.0.2 (and a gateway address of 192.168.0.1 for the pass-through).

I have configured the modem for access sharing.

Since activating the internet gateway - my lan connection status shows a small, but constant stream of activity (and the icon is constantly illuminated on both monitors).

I have an Internet Gateway icon on my connections page.

When I click on settings - I am presented with a page containing services.

The only service marked is "Teredo". (Do I need anything else for internet access?)

As things currently stand - when I open IE - it tried to load my home page - msn.com - and after a few seconds - times out - presenting me with "This Page cannot be displayed".

Might anyone have any suggestions on manually configuring my dial-up modem for local LAN sharing?

Thanks!

Microsoft don't recommend that you manually configure ICS, they say that you should use the Wizard.

If your client can see your host machine but can't get out to the Internet you might try a ping test and then tell the client machine to use the host as DNS if you have not already.

Ping the host machine from start]run]cmd (or command). In the DOS window type: ping 192.168.0.1 or whatever your host machine is set. If you get a reply, it can see your host machine. NOW ping an external web site like this: ping www.yahoo.com -- if you get a reply, you should also be able to see it in your browser, if you don't, then ping the IP# directly, at this writing: ping 66.218.71.94. IF you NOW get a reply, you have a DNS thing to fix bud. You should also be able to see the site in your browser: http://66.218.71.94 should bring up yahoo.com

You should go to the DNS settings in your Network Properties and "Enable DNS" then type in the name of the host machine, leave domain blank, and add the IP number of your host machine, typically: 192.168.0.1.
