Can anyone help me setup Internet connection sharing?

[Phoenix15]

I am trying to set up Internet Connection Sharing. I have the network running, and I can see both pc's and can ping the ip's.I use a one way cable modem (phone line upload, cable download) I have the 2 pc's networked w/ a simple crossover cable. The host pc is running win xp and the other is running 2000. I have had no luck getting the second pc to connect. I TCP/IP insatlled. have run the ICS wizard in Xp. Anyone done this before? Are their any websites w/ a how to on this?

Buy a router. Most ISPs will not let you assign an IP since most cable isps are dynamic.

You might want to try in the Networking forum.

I really wanted to hold off on buying a router till I get the 2 way service. It won't be a vailable in my area for a few more weeks. Do you think that it would be easier w/ a router, even though it is a dialup? I thought maybe it was getting confused while trying to download and upload on different devices over the network.

Just get sygate software, install on host, use client floppy on other and it's done.

Make sure you are running the client pc DHCP

Sorry about the miss post. I should have put this in the network forum. Thanks everyone for the help. I will check out the link and the software. I told my G/F that I could set it up so we could both be on the net at the same time. Now I have to figure out how

There's just a lot of info over at Networking and I don't know if any of the 'networking gurus' hang out in OffTopic
