vassie Posted April 12, 2002 Share Posted April 12, 2002 OK Then! I was wondering if anyone can help me with ICS. My desktop XP PC has two network cards in (1 & 2) 1 is connected to my cable modem and 2 is connected to my XP laptop's docking station with a cross over cable. I ran the Home Network wizard on my desktop PC and selected that this PC connects to the internet and other connect to the internet by passing through it, i then chose network 1 as the internet connection and network 2 as the connection that will be used as the pass through, it then went off and done it's thing, and i rebooted, i then went to run the wizard on my laptop, but, because it's my company laptop and it belongs to a domain, the wizard won't run, what do i need to do to my laptop to get it to connect to my dektop and get internet access? Thanks Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, there is no need mate. If both the computers are running XP (which they are), it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vassie Posted April 13, 2002 Author Share Posted April 13, 2002 No, it's my company laptop that I use everyday, but I have broadband internet at home, and would like for my laptop to be able to use it Ben :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Booger Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Very simple to configure, free, and readily available to download Just do a search for ANALOG X Once you have the file downloaded, read the "readme" attached. Providing you have 2 nics in the HOST PC, you have bought a Crossover cable, you should be golden. ONe drawback the HOST MACHINE MUST BE ON 24/7 if you want to use the client!

No need to modify anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
