260732 2004-08-12 02:26:00 We have a small home network of 2 computers and until now have been successfully sharing a dialup connection. Both computers had Win XP pro. We just upgraded one of the computers and installed XP pro. Now, although we have the icon representing the shared modem in the Network connections window, we can't browse on the guest computer. There are no error messages and the in the status bar it says it is opening a page, but it never happens. All other aspects of the network seem to be working. dandy (6014)
260733 2004-08-12 03:27:00 Workgroups right?
IP's right?
ICS enabled OK (if that's what you use)?
Appropriate folder etc sharing enabled OK?
Firewalls configured correctly?

260734 2004-08-12 03:31:00 Hi, thanks for reply - you prompted me to disable ZoneAlarm which was the issue! dandy (6014)
260735 2004-08-12 08:20:00 You can leave Zonealarm on just open the options amd tick enable gateway/this is the gateway or something. Not a good idea to turn it off if XP's firewall isnt on. Spacemannz (808)
