Thanks for the response. I am sorry I was not clear. I am trying simply to
connect a laptop directly (no router) to a desktop by cable using TPC/IP as
the only protocol. The desktop is has a DSL connection to internet through
its own adaptor but being a newbie to networking I was not attempting at
this stage to connect the laptop to the internet through the destop but
merely to share resources. However, if I can use ICS for that, it would be
a bonus.
By mentioning Fastlynx and Maxivista I meant that the IP connection between
the computers works with these third party applications, I asume this
confirms
that the setup was in part at least correct.
I mention the gateway and the other options becuase I am unsure why the two
cannot see each other and am grasping at straws. In the tutorials I have
read it seems straight-forward and at this point the two should communicate.
But they don't and as you see I don't have a clue why not.
The laptop (W98) shows itself in Network Neigbourhood by the Desktop (XP)
does not even list itself in MSHOME. Although it has done so earlier. I
have altered the IPs to 192.168.0.1
and 192.168.0.2 but without success.
Here are the IPcongif files:
