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). This last protocol is bound to nothing for
all devices(bindings the only window in that protocol).

The internet connection sharing tppip is all default but wins configuration
is "use dhcp for wins resolution".
The same goes for the Network adapter.
None of the devices have static Ip's.

The client machine has 1 adapter, the network card. no others installed.
It has ipx/spx and tcpip installed.
The tcpip protocol is set to "use dhcp for wins resolution"

I have tried changing the servers ip to 192.168.0.1 and the client to
192.168.0.1 subnet 255.255.255.0 for both.
I tried putting in the servers ip in gateway, this didnt seem to make a
difference.

The client machine acts as if it has no internet facilities installed at
all.

What am i doing Wrong   :(

Thanks!

Rob
