internet sharing prob

[Gorzzz]

Hi Everyone,
I'm having a problem with sharing my internet connection with my nephew's
puter.....they can see & share files with each other, but my nephews puter
can't access the net.....my dialup connection is shared, so he should be
able to get on the net.....knowing me, I've overlook something inbetween
(grrr).
My puter's running xp pro with sp1, my nephew's running xp home with xp2.
Any idea's out there???
Thanks
gorzzz

Hi Gorzzz

Its not the thing that I ALWAYS (!) forget is it??

Make sure that the SP1 firewall is set up ok, and that you have ticked the
"Allow other network users to connect through this connection to the
internet" under the internet connection's advanced properties.
