I'm running xp home. Trying to establish my home network,
my pc or host is connected to the internet via DSL and
router, works just fine. In order to use my laptop and
connect it to the router ports for file sharing and
internet, do I have to setup internet connection sharing
procedures or should'nt it automatically connect to the
net and be able to share the printer and files via the
router and connection?

Thanks,

Gabe
 
If you are using a router for interect connection then you do not need the
intenet connection sharing procedure.

Just setup the notebook point to the same gateway as the desktop. I MAY
automatically connect depending on the parameters of the TCP/IP connection.
Check to see if it is setup to automatically get an IP and the the router
has DHCP enabled.

Srt it up the same as the desktop.

Good Luck
Bill
