Networking 2 XP PCs

[Guest]

I have 2 PCs connected via ethernet and they are sharing files ok but the
host computer that I use to connect to the net via AOL dial up will not alow
me to add the dial up connection. Therefore I can't connect to the internet
from the client computer. I've used the network wizard but it won't allow me
to add my existing dial connection and when it prompts to use the ISP list my
current dial up isn't showing up. How do I get my host to show that it has
the dial up connection and then get the client to see it?

Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.

Maybe AOL 8.0 and 9.0 support ICS, but 7.0 did not - See:

I'm running AOL 9.0 Optimized on the host. Can the client dial in using the
host's phone connection. Reason is I ran out of pci slots in the client and
to lose it's modem but it has a built in gigabit ethernet so trying to get
the web via the host's modem. What else will work to achive this?
