I'm trying to network and share a common internet
coonection between two computer with Internet Connection
Sharing. I have them hooked via a crossover cable and
two NIC's. One NIC was in one of the computers when it
was purchased and that box is running Win XP Home. I
know networking is not enabled by default on XP home but
it is now. The other box has a newly installed NIC and
is running Win XP Pro. Until a few days ago I was using
an external NIC on this box hooked via USB and hooked to
the NIC on the other box. It worked fine until yesterday
and I couldn't get the two computers to see eachother
anymore. They both had access to the net but couldn't
share. I installed the internal nic and the crossover
cable and now I get the message "An error occured while
Internet Connection Sharing was being enabled." "The
service cannot accept control messages at this time."
Has anyone seen this before and do you have an answer for
what it means and what to do? The internet connection is
an external cable modem. All firewalls have been
disabled.
Thanks in advance
