Can I please get some Help?
 

I'm trying to SHARE an Internet Connection from a P2 Windows ME computer
("Host") TO a P2 Windows XP computer ("Client")--I am already sharing files
between the 2--but NO Internet Connection can be found on the XP
(Client)--this is a Dial-up Internet Connection and the File-sharing (and
supposedly Internet Connection-sharing) accomplished with a Genelink USB
Cable/software. So how DO I get my XP to receive the Internet Connection
from the M-E?
Thanks In Advance,

Neil

Are you using Internet sharing software that came with the Genelink
USB cable/software? If so, I'm sorry that I can't help, because I'm
not familiar with that product and its software.

If you want to use the Internet Connection Sharing capability that's
built into Windows, I can help. I've written some web pages with full
details.

Configure Windows ME as an ICS host as shown he

Configure Windows XP as an ICS client as shown he

XP ICS - Client Setup Using the Network Setup Wizard
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/.../clientwiz.htm

To use ICS, both computers must recognize the Genelink USB connection
as a network connection and be able to use the TCP/IP protocol on that
connection.
