PC with win2000 pro connected to broadband (I have
a Linksys wireless USB network adapter set up
with this machine).
Laptop with WinXP (with a D link wireless USB
adapter).
What I want, is to use the PC as the host
to connect to broadband, and then I want to
connect the laptop to broadband via the PC...
Sharing the connection.
So far... I have the network adapters set up,
and the laptop adapter finds the pc adapter no
problem. But that's as far as I've got.
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to
set up ICS. On my win2000 PC there are
several icons in the 'Network and Dial up
connections' folder (ATM, ATM ELAN, BLUETOOTH, FREESERVE
BROADBAND, LOCAL AREA CONNECTION). I've tried clicking
'enable internet sharing' in several of these...
I've no idea which one I was supposed to be
using!
And on the XP Laptop, I've tried configuring the
IE tools thingy to use the network instead of
dialing.
So... you can see I'm probably screwing the whole
thing up more and more each time I try to
get this working. I am going to lose my mind
(what small amount I have) very soon.
Please help.... pleeeeeaase!!!
Thanks for reading anyway... I hope someone will
rescue me.
