i set up the network and can access files on both
computers. i have a problem though...i havent managed to
share my internet access. i used a 256k dsl modem on one
computer.

how do i get it to work ??? do i have to use some kind of
proxy or does xp do it for me.

need help urgently!

thanks
 
I just completed networking at home and had a similar
issue. After some head scratching i adjusted the settings
on my Zone Alarm down a notch and suddenly found the 2nd
computer could access the net just fine. If you are
employing a firewall check the settings are set to include
computers you name, and not to exclude everything
