Hello,

I'm trying to set my Windows XP pro to share internet
connection with no success.

I can share files easily and all settings looks ok:
1. On internet connection ETH card I enable sharing
2. On 2nd ETH card the automatic setup sets:
IP: 192.168.0.1
SUB: 255.255.255.0
3. On client the everything is set to be done
automatically, and the results are:
IP: 192.168.0.189
SUB: 255.255.255.0
DEF GTWY: 192.168.0.1

From client > Ping 192.168.0.1 is perfect !

I have full access to the XP (the host PC) shared
directory, can read and write easily.

I can't make IE reach any address, either by name or by
specific IP.

Is it possible at all or the answer is that XP can't
serve WIN2000 for sharing internet connection ?
What is the trick to do that ?

Thanks,
Ofer

XP can share its Internet connection with all versions of Windows,
including WIN2000. It can even share the connection with Mac, Linux,
etc.

Configure XP as an ICS host as shown here:

Configure WIN2000 as an ICS client as shown here:
