Our XP Home ed. computer is set up as the host, and the
Pro connects to it (it was recently changed from Home to
Pro, and had more memory and another hard drive added to
it). The network sharing seems to be working fine, but I
can't set it up to connect through the home computer to
the internet. It will connect to the internet on it's
own, but we want them both to be able to connect at once.
It has an ethernet card in it, which was functional
before the additions were made to it. Any ideas on what I
can do to fix this problem?
 
assuming you are using ICS, posting the results of ipconfig /all here may
help.
