When you go into control panel, internet option, connection, properties and then advanced there is a flag there that may need to be turned on. Give that a blast and let me know. Cheers. Also might pay yo upgrade to ADSL as the prices are starting to come down now. | CaptinMoor (8392) | ||

Run the Wizard but didn't find any otion to turn on ICS. Where do you find the ICS option? |

| 490856 | 2006-10-16 03:52:00 | ICS option is under the dialup. And no dont use the wizard, it sucks and makes things worse. Put the ip addresses in manually. And make sure you're using a crossover cable or a ethernet hub. And if a firewall besides XP's is installed configure it so the networked pc gets on the net. |

Both PC's are talking to each other. The remote PC will not bring any pages ect on Explorer or using email Outlook Express |
