I am trying to network an XP pro machine to an ME system,
via a direct link cable (ethernet no hub involved). Whilst
the network runs fine for file sharing, the shared
internet connection refusues to work. The ME machine
appears to connect to the XP system, and dial up the
broadband connection, but the ME machine refuses to
display any web pages at all. I have been told that I need
a router, but I assumed that ICS was a software NAT
router. I used the XP network setup disk on the ME
machine, and I have even tried setting up from scratch
again, but nothing wants to work. I can see the machines
from each other, its just the internet that wont work. I
have BT Broadband, which is a PPPoE ADSL service, is this
a problem. I have tried the trouble shooters on the
practically networked website, but cant find anything
applicable to my problem.
Any help would be VERY grateful
