Respected brothers. as i have two NICs in one system running XP here i attached one NIC to DSL broadband while the other NIC connected through cross cable with other computer. now i can share all the files and folders and printers with these two system but when i enable internet connection sharing on the setup of NIC connected to DSL all the shared documents i can seen properly but internet is not accessing by the client computer till me what i can do to share internet between the system so that client access internet with out any problum with out Router or any thing else sohail khan

On the second system allow the IP address to be assigned via DHCP. Go to Start>Network Connections, right-click your LAN adapter and click properties. Under "This connection uses the following items:" double click "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)." In the box that comes up, click "Obtain an IP address automatically" and click OK, then OK again.

dear Rayburn thanks for reply i also used this mathod u know every things is ok and fine through DHCP it will gain the IP daynomically as for Two Nic computer IP automatically configured by ISP for internet when i shared this connection so the internal secound one NIC will automaticaly assign IP of 192.168.0.1 similarly through DHCP i assign IP to client system 192.168.0.2 every thing is share but internet is not sharing when i routen the same mathod in case of daul up connection so the client access the internet but due to DSL it will share every thing except internet. although the client request contineously but no response from other system noted that i have connect DSL modem with system NIC through cross cable not USB cables and this system will access internet as well. but client cont access pleaze dear reply me with complet details that what setup can do i on system with two NIC and as will as what can do with client computer so that client can access internet without any problem Regard, sohail khan

Did you run the Network Setup Wizard on the second computer? WinSimple Software CompTIA A+ Certified

no but its workgroup is same and it can share every thing except internet

post the results of an ipconfig /all from the host pc for review.

Dear sohail khan , Seems some settings are misconfigured. I would like you to follow below steps (I know u have done this but please verify ) I am 99.99% sure , this will help you. -On the computer with 2 NIC, one NIC ip is from ISP (DHCP) and 2nd is to be choosed by you. 1 ) assign this Ip to ur 2nd NIC. IP = 192.168.10.1 subnet = 255.255.255.0 gatway = 192.168.10.1 DNS = 192.168.10.1 . ( I believe internet connection sharing is already enabled on first NIC) 2) on the client compuers assign below IPs. IP = 192.168.10.2 or 3 or 4 subnet =255.255.255.0 Gatway = 192.168.10.1 Here, gatway is importent. now, check the connection, It should work now. If case no then pls post the steps u have doen till now, remember to type each steps, Thank you Subhash Chandra.
