Home Networking

[Guest]

Hi,
I am running two Windows XO Pro with Linksys EtherFast
1/100 Workgroup Switches and two Cnet PCI Ethernet
Adapter cards/Lan Drivers. Cable's are attached but
cannot surf the web at the same time on the computers.

I really don't know if I'm to connect both computers to
dial up or just the host. Much ignorance envolved here
so any help for this old Senior would be much
appreciated. My local computer shop "hooked" all this
stuff up but is out of town for now.

Thanks in advance,
Tom

Hook only the host up to the dial-up modem. If your
having problems ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) may not
be enabled. To fix this run the Network Setup Wizard on
both your machines and follow the on-screen instructions.

(Network Wizard = Control Panel>Network Connections> on
your left under Network Tasks run the Set up a home or
small office network. [Make sure you dont change any
settings but which computer you use to connect to the
internet with.]) Its pretty user-friendly so just read
everything.

Hope i Helped,
