ICS for Windows XP

[Paul]

I have two computers connected by a cross-over cable. One
is runing Windows XP (the host one) and the another one is
runing Windows 98 SE (the client one). I have got the
following problems:

1) The files and printer can be shared each other by both
computers. However, I can't. "ping" the client one from
the host one and the host one from client one as well.
Why? Network setting for the host one is
192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 and for the client one is
192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0. "Default Gateway" is 192.168.0.1

2) I have run Network Setup Wizard on Windows XP (the Host)
and on Windows 98 SE (the Client). On the Client, when I
click "Start" - "Programs" - "Accessories" -
"Communication" - "Internet Gateway", the computer cannot
find an internet gateway. How can I solve this problem?

Many Thanks!

Hi Paul,

If the problem is with pinging, then check if you have any firewalls
enabled.
If you want to set ICS then follow this procedure. -->
