Internet Sharing XP to XP Problems

Hello!

I'm running XP Pro on my host machine networked with 1 client machine
(cross over cable) with XP Home. This morning they were both working
fine. I must have blown the NIC in the host and had to replace it.
After replacing it I had a hard time getting networking back up. I now
have both machines pinging each other and I can access client from host
and even print to shared printer. I cannot get the client machine to
get on the Internet nor does it access the host "C" drive even with
permissions and sharing enabled.

I have raked my brain all day trying to get Internet sharing back up on
the client machine. I have checked and rechecked IP addresses but still
no go!!!

HELP - Any suggestions at this point would keep the headlines from
reading Man goes insane over Internet Connection....:-)

Thanks in advance.
 
can you ping the host by IP? post the result of ipconfig may help. check this step by step troubleshooting,

troubleshooting is not accessible error

Michael,

Stay calm. Help is here. As another helper says, Don't Panic.

If you have host to client file sharing, and host Internet, you have the hard
part working.

Let's look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each computer, so we
can diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow
instructions precisely:

ipconfig for Host
IP=192.168.0.102
Sub.Mask = 255.255.255.0
D Gateway = Blank, nothing there

Connection DNS Suffix
IP= 66.45.192.3
Sub.Mask= 255.255.255.255
D Gateway= 66.45.192.3
 
Whoops! I forgot to add the Client...

Client ipconfig
IP=192.168.0.101
Sub Mask = 255.255.255.0
D Gateway is blank also.

Chuck, I will check out those links asap.

Thanks
 
That is the problem. the client DG should point to the server private IP. Good luck!
