I have a WindowXP machine running XP version 5.1.2600
that I am sharing out the dial up Internet connection
on. I go through the set up on the XP machine and it
grabs the default IP address of 192.168.0.1. I then have
a WIN2K machine on my LAN connected to the WINXP machine
via Ethernet. On the WIN2K machine I have the Ethernet
NIC set to obtain an IP address as well as DNS
information automatically. When I pull up Internet
Explorer on the WIN2K machine and try to get an Internet
connecion through the XP machine I fail. I have even
tried adding a static IP address on the WIN2K machine
with no change. Can a WINXP machine share its Internet
connection with a WIN2K machine???? I know I did this
atleast one time before but I cannot reproduce the same
results again.

Click to expand...

Yes, WINXP can share its Internet connection with WIN2K.

Here are some tests to help find the problem:

1. On WINXP, right click the local area network connection and click
Status | Support | Details. It should show:

IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: none
DNS Server = none

2. On WIN2K, open a command prompt window and enter "ipconfig /all".
The LAN adapter should show:

IP Address: 192.168.0.x (1<x<255)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server = 192.168.0.1

3. If #1 and #2 are right, open a command prompt window on WIN2K and
enter these lines. Each one should get four replies:

ping 192.168.0.1
ping 216.239.39.100
ping www.google.com

4. If all of those are right, try accessing these web sites on WIN2K:

http://216.239.39.100
http://www.google.com
