Can only ping one computer on 2 PC LAN...

I'm attempting to use AnalogX's Proxy (which I have used sucessfully in the past) to hook up 2 computers through my hub to share one internet connection. I set the one up that gets the IP address from the cable company with the proxy server and set the other to a static IP address. I have no firewalls running. I can ping from the internet computer to the lan PC, but not from the LAN pc (10.0.0.1) to the internet computer (24.51.92.xxx). The documentation said something about having 2 TCP connection things in Network properties, but how is this possible since as soon as I add a second it seems to want to change all the info of both to whatever I modify the one to. Any Ideas?

Thanks,

Legrand
 
Does windows recognize the computer behind the proxy as having an ip? Type in winipcfg in a command prompt and see if you see the 10.* if not how are you connecting that computer.. statically or dynamically, or through say dhcp? I have never used that proxy, but I have had problems like this masquarading behind linux firewalls.
 
The one that has internet access, I'm obviously putting the proxy on. The other computer (10.0.0.1) is trying to find the internet access computer by using the Internet IP address given to it. ie. 24.51.69.xxx. Does this computer (the one hooked to the internet) need some sort of 'local' IP address for the other computer to be able to see it?

If I type in winipcfg on the internet computer (the one with the proxy) I get 24.51.69.xxx
If I type in Winipcfg on the other, it sees the 10.0.0.1.
 
You should have two settings for winipcfg on the proxy server. One for each nic. The internal nic should have an address similar to the other system. I'd suggest putting the proxy at 10.0.0.1 (switching the other computer to 10.0.0.2) or 10.0.0.255 if you are going to continue with that subnet.
My suggestion is to use two completely different nics so you can easily id the protocols bound to each nic.

Edit: the gateway for the client computer(s) would then be the above address from the proxy.
