Have check leads etc all ok. Can see both machines it has to be something to do with ICS or the fact that main pc is 98 and laptop is xp!
Dont know but will keep plugging away!  |
xp doesnt like networking with any previous versions unless its the main computer...try running the home networking wizard on the laptop, choosing the 'connects through another pc' option, at the end make a networking disk when it asks then use that to set up the laptop, cos you will need to update some files to work with xp..the connection to choose there as you will know...the computer connects directly to the internet and other computers connect through it option. On the laptop if you find you still cant make the internet connection...go into network connections, right click on the connection you have set up, properties then advanced and turn off the windows firewall....then try the internet again.
cant spell today
