Regards, Is it a USB-attached modem or do you connect with an Ethernet cable? If the latter, I suggest you get a cheap & cheerful gateway/firewall appliance (with a stateful inspection firewall) such as Netgear, Linksys, Dlink make....will do NAT, DHCP and so forth. I don't know of any such devices offhand that support USB connections, but there may be some. If you can't do this for some reason, you need to use dreaded ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) - look in your Help options on XP for instructions. |

Have you set up file/print sharing on both PCs ? Also - don't forget to check your PC firewalls, to see if they allow file sharing |

Its the sharing files,printers and recourses that are the problem. There are many possible settings that for whatever reason don't seem to work. I'm running xp sp2 on both computers it may be that sp2 is the problem, it really need a user who is operating successfully to give me some pointers. -- *..· ´¨¨)) -:¦:- ¸.·´ .·´¨¨)) ((¸¸.·´ .·´ -:¦:- Newsgroup 2004-:¦:- -:¦:- ((¸¸.·´* Anti spam address in use change "spamtrap" to "newsgroup2004" |

I'm running xp sp2 on both computers it may be that sp2 is the problem, it really need a user who is operating successfully to give me some pointers. If the Internet is working correctly, then this isn't an issue with your BT hardware. It just means you haven't set up your network correctly. Since you have SP2, the first place to look is at the Windows Firewall. Here are checkpoints: 1. If you are running a third-party firewall, then disable the Windows Firewall entirely. 2. In either case, third-party or native Windows Firewall, you need to put the lan IP range in Exceptions (or Allowed, or whatever the third-party firewall calls it) as Trusted. Here are links to help you with the Windows Firewall, and also some links to help you in your network troubleshooting: Understanding Windows Firewall http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...2_wfintro.mspx Troubleshooting Windows Firewall in XPSP2 http://tinyurl.com/3tnkt Manually Configuring Windows Firewall in Windows XP Service Pack 2 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/com...uy/cg0204.mspx http://www.michna.com/kb/wxnet.htm - Small Network Troubleshooter by Hans-Georg Michna http://www.bcmaven.com/networking/faq.htm http://www.practicallynetworked.com/...ilesharing.htm (Home) http://www.practicallynetworked.com/...ring/index.htm (Pro) http://www.practicallynetworked.com/...hoot_index.htm http://www.practicallynetworked.com/howto/ Malke -- MS MVP - Windows Shell/User Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!" |
