Internet connection sharing on WinXP and Win2000

[James Ryan]

Hi,
I am trying to set up a very simple connection sharing between a
Win2000 machine and WinXP machine. I want the Win2000 machine to use the
internet connection on the WinXP machine. I have already set up an ethernet
cross cable between the two machines and have successfully configured the XP
machine with a workgroup for file and printer sharing. This all works
exactly as expected.

Now however, how do I get Internet explorer on the Win2000 machine to 'see'
my dial up internet connection on the WinXP machine?

Pointers to a good web site that describes these things are very welcome. I
am quite new at this stuff.

Thanks,
James

After reading the articles I realized that something was wrong. Instead of
getting the expected 192.168.0.1 ip address I still had a 169.x.y.z address.
I realized that it seemed that ICS wasn't set up correctly. I rebooted both
pc's and everything started to work correctly.

Thanks for the help.
