Hello
I have a good 100mbps network connection using a peer to
peer ethernet connection, yet when I activate the ICS on
the Windows 2000 Pro sp4 machine (hooked to DSL) using a
USB intel pro 3200 DSL modem in dial up mode (train on
dial) I can map network drives to either computer the XP
system is on a laptop.

yet I cannot achive a internet connection although I have
done this a million times in the past with almost all
versions except XP, can anyone suggest what the problem is?

I have ZoneAlarm pro suite, set to use the ICS on both
machines, I am NOT using the XP firewall. as I stated
above I can map network drives, no problem but even though
the ICS on the Main computer (windows 2000 machine) is
active and has changed the ip address to my ethernet
connection to 198.168.0.1 as it states, still no connection

any suggestions as I have looked all over in the newsgroup
help forum and cannot find any other problems such as this

thank you in advance for any ideas

Hello

the gateway is on the win 2000 pro box, as it is hooked up
to the internet via USB intel Pro3200 Dmt DSL modem, it
has the ip address of 192.168.0.1, the xp laptop has a ip
of 192.168.0.9 when I set it static, when I let the ip
address automaticly it can be anywhere from 192.168.0.2-
192.168.0.254 (I believe) as I stated earlier I can share
files but not the Internet connection on that is located
on the Win 2000 box, which of course there are not any
drivers for the XP with that USB Intel Pro3200 modem

I need to be able to remove the laptop and take that with
me but I would like to keep it updated besides glomming
onto the coffee shop behind my house using the WiFi access
point they have, not that ethical.

any suggestions?

thanks
