Hi There,

* I am running 2000 on the desktop computer and XP pro on
the laptop.
* desktop is connected to hi-speed internet thru cable.
* laptop is connected to desktop thru crossover cable.
* both machines are visible to each other and I can share
files.
* but I cannot access internet from the laptop.

I have tried following options:

* On desktop, ICS is enabled, and IP & DNS addresses are
configured for automatic
* On desktop, NetBEUI is checked
* Done similar stuff on laptop also.
I have read quite a few articles and emails in this
newsgroup but have not yet figured out the problem.

PS: Thanks for your reply Bill - there is no firewall
installed unless window installs one by default.

Please help. Thanks
Sati
 
XP doesn't (normally) use NetBEUI. Try disabling it on Win2K and using only
TCP. Otherwise, it all sounds right!
