Internet sharing of WinXP and WIn2000

[Tim]

I use my win2000 desktop as a host ( having 2 LAN card) and my winXP laptop
as an client. I use crossover cable to connect to two computers. The win2000
is connected to the internet. I can successful make each computer see the
other but not get connected to internet from the winXP laptop. How can
internet sharing enable using win2000 as the host ???

Thx a lot~~

Set up win2000 as the host as shown here:
