I have two computers in my home network. The host is an XP Pro system
(hardwired to router) and the client is a wireless 98SE laptop. I am trying
to share my dial-up connection. The file sharing works fine. The client
98SE system is able to enable/disable the host XP dial-up connection via the
Internet Gateway since I ran the XP disk on the 98SE system to setup the
network. But, when I click on the IE icon on the 98SE system to browse the
web, the age-old "Cannot find page, blah, blah, blah" page shows up. I'm
confused because I can dial up the connection perfectly fine from the client
98SE system. When I click on "enable" on the client, the host computer dials
up. But it's as if Internet Explorer doesn't know to use the wireless
adaptor to access the web. Could it be that it's still trying to use the
laptop's old modem to access it? Do I need to unistall the modem software on
the client? How do I tell Internet Explorer to use the wireless adaptor to
access the web? All of my firewalls are turned off so I know that's not it.
