I had home networking set up on my machine running ME, and my other machine that was networked to it could share the internet fine.
Now that I have formatted the ME machine every time I try to use Home networking wizard to share the internet I doesn’t seem to work.
I go through the same process of making a disk and running in on the other machine (win98) with no luck
The general Network works, files, printing etc but no internet.If I look at the networking properties on the Win98 machine it doesn’t have the "internet sharing protocol" which the ME machine does
please offer some help
Thanks

If you send me specific details leading up to the problem and the error message I could help you
my e-mail is dlublink@hotmail.com
That's the best I can do for you.

G'day Choco, if the ICS is now established and, for example, PC1 has your modem and internet setup you will now have to open your network icon on PC2's desktop and open the Add Network Places wizard and browse for C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer on PC1 and drag the Iexplore.exe icon [as shortcut] to PC2's desktop and double click it, it then should either dial-up or open your home page if you are on-line that you set on PC1 and that should be it. Also check to see if the ICS icon is in the tray on PC1 or check the Internet Options\Connections\Sharing to enable it, next to the LAN button.
That's all I did after 2 frustrating days trying to figure it out and bingo.
Hope this helped

I tried that ronnie,
but The PC2 is using win98!!I draged the shortcut from PC1 but It still doesnt work
All I get is page cannot be displayed!!

G'day Choco again, I had that problem as well for a while but somehow it fixed itself, I didn't notice that PC2 was 98, sorry. I couldn't get it to work with 95 [PC1] and ME [PC2] but both are ME now and it's still working [miracle!!]. The only other thing I would look at is the IP adress. First open C:\windows\Winipcfg.exe to see what has been assigned for both machines then open the Network props and look for on PC1
TCP/IP [home] (your card) and check it's props for the IP address, it should be the same if it's there. PC2 might not have to have it [my PC2 doesn't]
This was very tricky to setup so I don't think I can offer anything else on this, as I said it took me 2 days and although I did the same things over and over it finally came together but I'm not sure how
Good luck
