[Steve]

i have two machines both running winxp pro.

mach1 has two net.ad. card.
card1 connected to the internet.

mach2 as an onboard net.ad. connected to card2 on mach1
using a x-over cat5.

i have successfully run the network setup wizard on the
client mach (mach2).

(can share files, printers and stuffs) but no internet on
mach2.

network setup wizard one.

Set things up without using the Wizard:

1. On the host computer, right click the connection for card1, click
Properties | Advanced, and share the connection. If it asks which
connection to use for the home network, tell it to use the connection
for card2.

2. On the client computer, make sure that the network connection's
TCP/IP properties are configured to obtain an IP address
automatically.

Then, run these tests:

1. On the host computer, right click the card2 connection and click
Status | Support | Details. It should show:

IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: none
DNS Server = none

2. On the client computer, right click the network connection and
click Status | Support | Details. It should show:

IP Address: 192.168.0.x (1<x<255)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server = 192.168.0.1

3. If #1 and #2 are right, open a command prompt window on the client
and enter these lines. Each one should get four replies:

ping 192.168.0.1
ping 216.239.39.99
ping google.com

4. If #1-#3 are right, enter these addresses in Internet Explorer on
the client. They should both take you to the Google web page:

http://216.239.39.99
http://google.com
