"Other computers cannot connect to internet thru this computer..."
Good morning.
I've got two computers in our house that we want to network. At one time in the past we were but XP won't let us. We have a router connected to the internet. This works on my computer. But when trying to create a network with my sons computer, mine says that "other computers cannot connect to internet through my computer" (in the Networking Wizard) and so I can't do anything more. We've run the Wizard on his computer and can't see each other's computer from the other. What am I missing? Seems to be a problem on my computer. Both are running XP. Thanks. |

Tell the Wizard that the computers connect to the Internet through a "residential gateway", which is what it calls your router. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.

"Other computers cannot connect to internet thru this computer..."
Tried that, too.
Not sure if the problem is on my side or the other side. The other side, tried to repair the network connection and get a message something like "can't renew IP". Does that help? -----Original Message----- In article , "John Jordan" wrote: Good morning. I've got two computers in our house that we want to network.
