Networking problem

[skc]

Hi,

I have two machines on a hub:

Machine A
----------
This is a Windows 2000 Pro machine with 2 NICs - LAN and
WAN, the WAN card being connected to a DSL router/modem.
This machine can browse the Internet OK. The LAN NIC has
a static IP of 192.168.16.122 and the DNS is dynamic.

Machine B
---------
A new Windows XP Pro machine with 1 NIC - LAN with a
static IP of 192.168.16.123.

What I want to do
----------------
I want to browse the Internet from the XP Pro machine.
The Windows 2000 Pro with dual NIC can browse the Internet
fine.

Ping
----
I can ping a public IP from the Windows 2000 Pro machine
but cannot from the Windows XP machine. I can ping the
Windows 2000 machine from the XP machine, but not Windows
2000 to XP machine.

How can I make the Windows 2000 Pro ping the XP machine
and how do I get the Internet going on the XP Pro
machine. The Win2000 Pro machine can browse the web OK.

Both machines are simply connected to a LAN.

HELP!!!

Enable Internet Connection Sharing on the Windows 2000 computer's WAN
connection, and configure the Windows XP computer as an ICS client.
I've written some web pages with details:

ICS for Win2000 - Broadband WAN Connection

XP ICS - Client Setup Using the Network Setup Wizard
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/clientwiz.htm

I don't see any advantage to it, but if you want to have a static IP
address on the Windows XP computer, make these settings:

IP Address: 192.168.0.x (1<x<255)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server = 192.168.0.1

If you configure XP manually, disable the Internet Connection Firewall
on its LAN connection:

Internet Connection Sharing requires the use of 192.168.0.x IP
addresses.
