I have recently set up a small network of three computers
using Windows XP and I want to use the one connection I
have to be accessed on each system. I have been able to
get one of the client computers to access the Internet
using one of the computers as the host; however I am
unable to browse the Internet on the other client.

I have also gone through the assistance provided by XP on
sharing internet connection; yet I am still unable to
browse from that client.

Help any one.

Hi
You need to make sure that the host pc( 1 connected to
internet has Internet connection sharing enabled.
go to network connections and right click on the internet
connection, under the advanced tab there should be a
check box for internet connection sharing, tick this box.
The other 2 pc's should be set to obtain IP address
automatically. This is again under the connection
properties but on the general tab page down to internet
protocol TCP/IP, right click on that and make sure both
buttons are set to automatically obtain.
Also check that all pc's have the same workgroup.
Let me know if that works if not we'll try something else
