connecting 2 pcs to one internet connection help please?

[Guest]

Hi all.
I have two pcs both using xp pro, one is connected to the internet via bt
yahoo broadband usb modem.
the one connected to the internet has an onboard lan, the other pc i bought
a lan card for and a crossover cable to connect the two.
after doing so and running the windows network connection wizard on both.
The one connected to the internet being the host and the other the client.
when i try to access the intenet from the client pc all i get is 'page not
available' error in explorer.
any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks

You need to configure Internet Connection Sharing(ICS). See:
