RE: Sharing Net Connection in XP
Which computer is connected to the internet? the desktop or the laptop? also, on which computer is the internet not functioning? And are you using a crossover ethernet cable to connect the two computers?

just run the network setup wizard, you can choose 'this computer will connect to te internet through the network' (laptop)

and this computer will connect directly to the internet (desktop pc)

probs off a bit but its generally something liek that...thats what happened with me anyway

its easier to have a router:P lol. ermm im not sure if you have to do it when its not through a router but i had conflicting IP's...or just naff ones....maybe you need to sort the network IP addresses for the pc's?

might need to be in the same workgroup...they do for file sharing afaik
