I currently have a Windows XP system and a Windows ME
System. My XP system has just been upgraded to broadband
internet. I thought that the two computers would network
together and share the internet connection.
There is no problem with the computers seeing
eachother and being able to send files through each
computer. Though internet connection sharing has been a
big problem. They just wont connect. Is it possible to
get these to connection share and if so how? please help.
Thanks
 
How did you get the network to work? I followed the
instructions on how to setup a sharing connection with
both computers but it doesn't work, neither one recognized
the other. I have both of them hooked up to a router and
they both share the internet but can't communicate.

I initially purchased a switch port and I was able to
connect both computers but they didn't share the internet,
I found out that I needed a router but now I can't get the
PC's to communicate.
