home network setup with xp pro as main machine win2k as second

[Joel Goldstick]

I have a new computer on which I loaded Windows 2k. My primary machine has
xp pro. The primary machine has a network connection to the internet (thru
a cable modem). This machine also has a second network connection.

I went through the network home office wizard. It tells me that it won't
work for a client machine with win2k

BOth machines are set up with workgroup mshome.

How do I manually configure so that the win2k machine can share files with
the xp machine, and also access the internet thru the xp machine.

I have zone-alarm on the xp pro machine

i have a home network between a win xp home and win 98 machine. I use a router to connect the two computers. works like a dream. Have a look at them they really are not very expensive.

I have discovered this problem has something to do with win2k.

I have a router.

any other ideas?
