Too lazy to read what ya done, but the key now is to remove everything that you have done. When you have uninstalled everything run the home networking wizard on both computers and select the correct network card for the intended purpose. At that point (the server (computer with internet) will have to be turned on prior to the client as the server assign the client an ip etc (DHCP), eyerything should work okay after that, ALSO if you are with bigpond advance you WILL need BPALOGIN as well as the open port heartbeat fix reg file, if you dont have this you will have frequent internet drop outs etc.... There is no point in statically assigning each ip as this is a tedious task and when DHCP is available is a stupid option... BTW since you are using Windows ME, which is yet to be released please do not use autoupdate etc and delete the associated files from the windows root dir. And if you can, buy it when it comes out because really man its worth it. Finally MS made sumthin that boots quick and crashes less. : ) PrOliFic Rob wrote: > Im trying to get windows internet sharing on my 2 computers both runnign > Windows ME. > I have installed it on the server and run the wizard. i now have the little > server icon in the tray. it sais one computer is using the internet > connection at the moment. > > In network settings i have a new adapter now called internet connection > sharing, with tcp/ip and ipx/spx bound to it. along with a new one "internet > connection sharing (protocol).
