Internet Sharing

I have 2 PCs (both with XP). The one with Internet connection has 2 netcards
(one for internet and the other for connect to the other PC).

All configurations seems to be OK (I used the Wizards)

The problem is that the second computer, does not have Internet Access. This
computer does not "ping" the other (the one with 2 netcards and internet)
even to the IP adress (so, is not a problem with DNS) and The the other
computer can ping this one without any problem...

Can anybody help me please? thanks...
 
How are you accessing the internet? Dial Up, DSL/CAble? Are you using an
Ethernet modem or USB modem? Have you enabled Internet Connection Sharing on
the Host computer?

I have cable. And yes, I enabled ICS on the host computer...

The one thing it that confuses me, is that from the client computer I can´t
ping the Host computer, but it took its IP address from it (and from Host can
ping client)
 
How did the second computer take an IP from the Host? Are you running a DHCP
server on the Host? If not, the second computer did not get a IP from the
first. It sounds like a firewall problem. What firewall are you using on the
Host computer? You should have to put the IP address of the second computer
in the trusted zones/exceptions area of the firewall. Also some third party
firewalls, especially Zone Alarm, dont like to play nice and need to be
completly removed before networking will work. Try It.
