Hello everybody,
I have two compters connected with a cross over cable.
Computer 1 (the host) has 2 Ethernet cards one going to internet(DSL
modem)(external). And one going to the other computer thru a cross over cable.
Computer 2 has `1 Ethernet card (that I am using) connected to the other end
of the crossover cable.
The file sharing works on both computers.
I can access the web on the host but not the client.
The bottom task bar on both computers shows a yellow '!' in the network
adapter.
Both computers are running windows XP.
I've been thru the wizzars help files a hundred times and cannot get anywhere.
At one time (going through the help files) I found a detailed way of reading
both the client and host IP Address, Subnet Mask and Default Gateway. It
said to write this stuff down and then how to change them to fit together. It
had a chart to show
how to do this. I lost that page and for the life of me I can't find it again.
I believe this may be my problem.
Any help appreciated,
Make sure that Internet Connection Sharing is enabled on the host:
1. Open the Network Connections folder.
2. Right-click the connection that goes to the DSL modem.
3. Click Properties.
4. Click Advanced.
5. Put a check mark in the box "Allow other network users to connect
through this computer's Internet connection."
6. If there's a box to select a home networking connection, select the
one that connects to the client computer.
7. Click OK.
To see a network connection's TCP/IP configuration:
1. Right-click the connection.
2. Click Status.
3. Click Support.
4. Click Details.
