I have one XP desktop, three XP laptops, a cable modem and a D-Link Wireless
Broadband Router. I decided to set up a home network with the desktop as the
host in order to share files and printers. Using the Network Setup Wizard, I
chose "Connect to Internet through a Residential Gateway" option. Everything
worked as intended with the exception that the desktop can no longer access
the internet (file and print sharing works, all laptops can access the
internet.)
Other notes:
- I can ping the desktop from one of the laptops, but not vice-versa.
- I disabled MacAfee Personal Firewall and Windows Firewall on the desktop
- The router firewall is enabled
- ipconfig /all shows the following on the desktop:
