Problems getting 2 user accounts to share the 1 adsl net connection..............

John Murray

G'day,
I hope someone can help me. I'm running winxp with all the
latest updates from microsoft. I've tried several times to share my
adsl connection on my desktop with my sons desktop on the same machine
and have both desktops downloading/browsing at the same time. The
trouble is that I am unable to do this. I'm using a Thompson alcatel
speedtouch 530 as the modem and the microsoft internet connection
firewall. If I start a file download on my desktop, switch users to my
sons desktop and try to browse the net, the status bar says that the
web site is found but no actual download of the site occurs. The pages
just hang. The same with mail and my sons p2p program. Switching back
to my desktop shows that my downloads are uninterrupted. Any
suggestions as to what I may have missed?

Cheers

John Murray
