Internet connection sharing

[Guest]

Trying to share broadband internet connection. The Home network is already
set-up and it says that the LAN connection is shared on the host pc but when
I try to use the internet on the client PC I just get the page cannot be
diplayed message. Any help is much appreciated.

Make sure that it is the Local Area Connection for the adapter connected to
your broadband device which is shared. ie. do not enable sharing on the LAN
connection.

Jenny,

How about you show us "ipconfig /all" from each computer, so we can diagnose the
problem. Read this article, and linked articles:
