Connecting by a patch will not give you access to the web. You need to get a router. A router will allow you to have your PC%26#039;s connected as a network and feed in an internet line as well.

What OS is the host computer? Windows 2000 %26amp; XP Pro will allow internet sharing over a crossover cable.

If you are running through a router of sometype both computers connect to the router and the router supplies each computer with Internet Access

Other Replys:ah, but what john didnt say was that if you know how to set up the middle computer, you can configure it to forward traffic from the 2nd pc to the internet and back. the easiest way is to use linux as the middle box and google %26#039;packet forwarding%26#039;.... although the caveats are that this requires some technical knowledge and use of a crossover cat5 cable

Other Replys:Use the Network Setup Wizard to enable your Host computer to do ICS or Internet connection Sharing. Just go into the control panel and invoke the network connection wizard. Then follow the steps outlined. In order for other computers (clients) to access the Internet, the Host computer needs to be turned on. If it is shut off the connection for the other computer(s) is also shut off.

I found using a router with my DSL allows for each individual computer its own Internet connection without having to use ICS. It is just so much simpler for each computer to have its own connection. However, if you simply can not afford a router and adapters then your best bet is the ICS. Windows has this built into the operating system.

The Host computer needs two adapters while the client computers only need one. You turn on all the computers and then run the wizard on the Host computer, then run it on each computer you wish to use ICS on.

Good luck in setting up your Internet connection sharing.

Other Replys:XP Professional? Network Setup Wizard and follow the prompts carefully for sharing an internet connection.

If your version of XP doesn%26#039;t have this or it fails, buy a switch or hub. They are really cheap.

Other Replys:To specifically answer your question without getting providing you other options related to broadband networking, routers, etc..., here is all you need to do.

If you host computer is running at least Windows 2000, then connect this computer to the other computer with a cross-over cable or have both computers connect to a hub or switch.

Next, on the host computer connected to the internet, go to the properties of the network connection (internet connected connection) and enable Connection Sharing.

The other NIC connected on this computer will be set to a static IP (192.168.0.1). This computer will run other serivices that will provide your other computer access to the internet such as DNS Proxy, DHCP Allocator, and NAT.

Leave the other computer as a DHCP Client. The other computer will automatically be configured to use the computer that is connected to the internet as it%26#039;s gateway.
