I have two computers that are connected to each other via hub. One of them is running Windows 98(non SE) and the other is running Windows XP Pro. I am having trouble accessing the Internet with the XP machine. The 98 computer is the one connected to the Internet directly. They can properly share files and printers but I can't use the Internet in the XP one. What is the problem?

On the Windows 98 system do you have Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) installed and setup? On the Windows XP system do you have the TCP/IP properties of your network adapter set to "Obtain an IP address automatically"?

Where can I get ICS? Is it included in the XP CD? And yes, the TCP/IP properties of my network adapter is set to "Obtain an IP address automatically."
