Sharing Internet Connection Problem

[alon710]

I have a wired problem, and it will be long and klutz to explain myself here.

I will be happy if one of you help me, please.

In a nutshell, I have 2 computers (using Windows XP) which connected together, one of them (PC1) is connected to the Internet through a dailer, the other (PC2) is connected to PC1 with a cossbred cable, so it will be able to use its' Internet connection.

Everything is connected and OK and Windows XP says: "Connected", "Available", and so on,

BUT, I have a wired problem.

I need u to help me, please.

Thank you.

I don't quite understand your problem, but:

1. Has this setup ever worked and problems appeared all of a sudden?

2. Make sure you have ICS enabled on the pc that connects directly to the internet.

Check this Internet Connection Sharing tutorial, and see anything you configured wrongly.

Hope helps..

Agreed - the most common mistake people make when configuring ICS is that they configure the *internal* network device (the one attached to their internal PC's or internal switch/hub) for sharing, rather than the *external* device that is attached to their ISP (modem, external NIC attached to broadband modem/router, etc). You need to configure sharing on the *external*, internet facing device. Otherwise, you're not going to get any internal machines on the internet .
