I recently subscribed to Tiscali Braodband and wish to share this on my two machines at home. I have networked the machines together and I am able to share files etc. I followed the Windows XP ICS to try and share my broadband, I have allocated IP's etc and even disabled the firewall in an attempt to connect both machines to the Internet at the same time but to no avail???? Machine 1 which is directly connected the Internet works fine, Machine 2 can see the connection but will not display the pages? Both machines are using XP.

Get rid of I.C.S its a pain, and try a nice simple proxy.

It works brilliantly.

g6zru thats a very bad recommendation. Routers are very expensive and you should be able to help this guy get his setup working.

Use a ADSL router/modem instead of a plain ADSL modem. Any machine plugged into the router can then share the broadband connection as well as being networked locally. As a bonus a router makes your PC almost invisible to any unwanted invasions from the internet.

Did you let windows automatically set up the connection ?

I know for ICS to work, the PC with the internet connection has to have the IP address 192.168.0.1 have you changed that ?

Is the default gateway for machine set to 192.168.0.1 ? Check with ipconfig /all in a cmd window.
