I have read and tried every possible scenario I can find. Some one suggested I would need an internal modem in the host as it works as a network card for the internet connection sharing. XP on the host and ME on the client. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks BC	Guest (0)

It's only a 30day trial though. There are free proxies out there. It doesn't matter if your modem is internal or external.	Guest (0)

Ensure that you client machine is using DHCP and check the tab for sharing under modem properties in XP (host ?) this should give the network card on the XP box an IP of 192.168.1.1 (no restart reqiured. then ping that address from your ME client. If you get a responce then it should work fine.	Guest (0)
