I'm having a problem trying to share internet from Windows 98SE to Windows XP HE.

PC1 has Win98SE, Win2000 Pro, and WinXP HE. It also has a Homefree Phoneline 10Mbps NIC and a Davicom 9102 PCI ethernet card (for connecting to a different PC).

PC2 has Windows XP HE. It also has a Homefree Phoneline 10Mbps NIC.

The network is working perfectly fine with all the systems. PC1 is set to a static IP address, and PC2 is set to obtain an IP address automatically. Shared internet from PC1 to PC2 works perfectly fine when PC1 is in either 2000 or XP, but from 98 it doesn't. The network from 98 to XP works fine otherwise, but when I enable it to share internet through the Homefree Phoneline card, PC2 doesn't get access, and both PCs no longer see each other. When I switch it back to sharing internet through the ethernet card, the PCs can see each other again. (And my Win95 PC, connected to PC's ethernet card, can get the shared internet.) Any ideas on why it won't work with XP?

I'm just using the Internet connection sharing software that comes with Windows 98SE. (In the Internet Explorer options box)
