I've managed to set up a two computer network, through two ethernet connections, but I can't get internet sharing to work.
My modem is an NTL USB, set up for internet sharing on the host computer(under win2000)
The client computer uses win98se, and has been set up as per the guide offered by annoyances.org.
The only problem with that set up is that the guide says that you shouldn't have the NETBEUI protocol for the client computer, but if I remove it, I loose the network!
The internet connection works from the host but not from the client.
Any help would be much appreciated.

You can have NetBEUI, but more protocols make the network slow. I believe the problem is firewall.
