I have two old Dell machines, both running XP Pro.

Recently I connect two together in a network.

The setup is like this:

Machine A has two ethernet cards. Machine B has one.

Machine A connects to the Internet (ADSL) with netcard 1.

Machine A's netcard 2 connects to Machine B's only netcard.


Try removing MachineA's NIC2 from the loop and setting up Internet
Connection Sharing again through machineA's NIC1 ... I'm pretty sure you
only need one NIC on each computer .. actually as suggested below.
