345852 2005-04-16 22:49:00 I have two computers on a home network running Windows XP. The computers are connected using a crossover cable and access the Internet through a dial up modem(s). My set-up allows both computers to share a modem, but not access the Internet at the same time. Can someone tell me how to do this? I know its no problem through broadband but I want to stick with dial up for the moment. Bayview (7915)
345853 2005-04-16 22:57:00 I just used Set up Network Wizard on both machines. For the machine that has the modem; you need to ensure that 'All computers access the net through this computer' is checked.
On the other one; check 'I connect to the internet via another computer'.
You will see these settings (similar wording) during the setup wizard.
Other than that, all settings the same (other than the names of course)

345854 2005-04-16 22:58:00 did you set up internet sharing when you set up you network connection? Phil B (648)
345855 2005-04-16 22:59:00 if your shareing a modem then your shareing the internet.

how are you shareing the modem?

btw if you are asking if you can share both modems on the 2 pc's and have to net connections "joined" so you have double speed, then the answer is no you cannot.
