internet sharing

[rhonda]

Hi Guys,
Both computers are using XP Pro. One computer connects
to the internet via an ISDN Modem which I would like to
share. Both computers have the Microsoft firewall
enabled. Try as I may I cannot get the connect to work.

Any help please

Rhonda,

If you want help here, you need to describe the problem with a bit more detail.

Hi

You may need to describe your setup in a bit more detail but you shouldn't
have the XP firewall on the client /unless/ it's SP2 and then you can add
the LAN subnet to your 'exceptions' list in the firewall settings.

I would actually suggest that you get a third-party firewall such as
Zonealarm (or one of your own preference) as the XP firewall provides no
protection againts outbound connection attempts even on SP2.

Regards

Bill

Hi.
It depends on the Nature of you ISDN connection.
If it is coming as a DialUp (like a regular modem).
DialUp Sharing Options: http://www.ezlan.net/DialUp.html
If the output of the ISDN Modem is Ethernet.

The pages above was written by me ages ago. You might ignore the prices and
Brand recommendations. The principles however are still the same.
