I've got 2 PCs. One is supposed to be the Host which has two NEtwork cards in it. On for DSL and one for the actual network. My network works and my dsl connection does too, but i can't get the computer to share the connection so that the client computer can use the connection. What do I have to do? Please help

That's a really nice site but it still doesn't really work. My network works really god rite now, its only the ics. I use a software called T-Online because I live in Germany, it kinda is like Aol that you need a programm to dial in and stuff. Could that be my problem? Do I need that programm on the Client Computer as well? Please answer

Well with the NW configuration you layed out, it would seem that your problem would be in ICS, if it was not for your T-Online client. Which I know nothing about. But if you have ICS running on only the PC that connects to your DSL, and your connection to the other PC is solid, NIC good, cables good and right type (X-Over for direct connection - And straight through with Hub)then it should just work. If all that is true then I would say that the problem lies with the T-Online client. I think of a client as something on each PC. Like Novell CLIENT, GroupWise E-Mail CLIENT, (can't tell I'm a Novell person, can ya).

That is the best educated guess that I could give. Based upon what you have outlined about your hardware layout and networking scheme.
