Ok heres my problem. I have 2 computers with XP and
Professional installed on them, They have been connected
together by a network cable and adapters for 2 weeks now
and nothing went wrong. I am sharing my internet
connection from my XP computer to my Professional. Both
computers were running fine until i got a update from
microsoft in today on my XP machine. After that no
internet on my Professional computer. I can connect to XP
no problem and share as many files as i want no problem
but internet sharing is now not working. The checkbox is
checked and everything appears to be fine but i have no
clue whats going on with it. Also i found it kind of
strange that i can type "\\dell" and i can connect to the
XP computer but it doesnt show up in My Network Places.
Please Oh Please reply with some kind of anwser. Thank you
anybody who takes the time to help me. Ill Appreciate it
alot.

Hello Jared,

Guess I have the same issue as you do.

I had my website accessible through my domain name until I installed
XP SP1a. When I install SP1a, the domain name brings up "Server Not
Found" error but the "localhost" works fine. When I remove SP1a, it
restores to normal.

I find similar issues in the group but no solution yet. I am waiting
for a solution soon.

Goodluck with your Search for solution. Please let me know if you
solve it.

I figured out the issue!

The XP SP enables the firewall on the network connection. Just disable
the default firewall, and everything will be normal.

Cheers.

Sekhar.
