I almost got it

[topweb2000]

Ok I was in here the other day totally confused but with great help got almost everything working,
I have a desktop computer running Win ME and i have a cable modem installed and I have a laptop running win98se, I networked the 2 computers together by by installing ather nic card in the desktop and running a crossover cable from the nic card to a nic card i have installed in my laptop,then I ran windows networking wizard on both machines,after that i am able to share files,but I can't get on the internet with my laptop,I'm sorry but i'm not sure what else i should say to help you figure out what is wrong but any help would be great
Thanks ahead of time

Install ICS on Desktop

You can try Microsoft's Internet Connection Sharing like Norrsak suggested or there are some other options:

http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/proxy.htm - Freeware

http://sygate.com/free/default.phpFor a reasonable fee (What I use)

http://www.ositis.com/english/home/hm_home_home_en.asp - For a reasonable fee (Caused me problems, your milage may vary)

Does anyone have any ideas what to try now

Some wild shots in the dark here - try Netmeeting ??? You aren't by any chance using NetBeui instead of TCP/IP? Double check your protocols and network settings, and try deleting all cards, etc., and reinstalling with the most current drivers. Also, can you ping the ISP from the laptop?

 

[topweb2000]

not sure how to ping,i uninstall all card drivers...in my control panal i have netbui and tcp/ip my my network setting

 

[Mean MrMustard]

to ping click "start", "run" and type "ping www.yourisp.com" (it won't necessary be "www. or .com&quot😉

Do I need to put anything in the gateway,i have the ip as obtain ip address automatically

 

[purplehayes]

As in getting the IP from you ISP? No, DCHP will automatically assign you an IP, a subnet mask and a gateway plus some other stuff.

Personally I feel that you should set static IP #'s on your home network, that way you won't have to fool with DHCP.
