Network Wizard stop responding
I am trying to connect 2 PC's together to form a network. They are
connected together with a crossover ethernet cable.My host pc is running WXP SP3 & my laptop is running WXP Pro Media edition. I have a dial-up only connection, and when I run the Network Wizard on the host PC, the wizard stops responding. I am choosing radio button 1. (This computer connects directly to the Internet. The other computers on my network connect to the internet through this computer). The wizard on the 2nd PC works fine(2nd radio button). Need Help! What is the problem? |

At what point in the Network Setup Wizard does it stop responding? That is, when you select radio button 1 and click Next do you get to the next screen (where you select the Internet connection type)? You can try to set up "Internet Connection Sharing" manually. See the directions on this website:http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/The computer with the Internet connection is called the "server" on that site. If you have problems, please list the exact steps you take and give the full text of any error messages you get. -- Lem Apollo 11 - 40 years ago:http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/ap...0th/index.html It freezes up when I click next after the selection of the radio button . I don't get the chance to tell about what internet connection type. There are no error messages. |

Hi
At this point you should Not use the wizard any more configure ICS Manually. In addition use static IP on the client computer, and make sure that the IPs is of the range thta is supported by ICS ( 192.168.0.x). Maybe this can Help, http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306126 Jack (MS, MVP-Networking). wrote in message ... I am trying to connect 2 PC's together to form a network.
