internet connection problem

[Fred Kruger]

I jave a home network of three computors two running XP
Pro and one using 98.

The main machine is using XP Pro connected to the
Internet by ADSL modem (broadband) through the usb port.
I have also installed zonealarm on this machine but
allowed access by the other two through zonealarm

I want the allow the other machine (second machine) with
XP PRO on to share this connection.

I have created the main machine as the gateway and then
used the connection wizrad on the second.

I can get the second machine to start and get the
connection but cannot get internet explorer to display
anything, its as though it doesnt realise the connection
is there.

Can anyone tell me how to correctly set the connection up
so it works properly.

Thanks in anticiaption

If you have the free version of ZoneAlarm on the ICS host computer,
check its configuration. To allow the other computers to access the
Internet through it, set the Internet Zone Security to Med. and set
the Trusted Zone Security to Low.

If that doesn't solve the problem, please see this web page for full
details of setting up the host and client computers:
