Question

Is it possible?
One running Win 2000 one running XP Pro. They're networked via an 8 prt hub and we have the XP machine connected to the internet using an ISDN internal card. Cat 5 cabling from the ISDN home highway box to the ISDN internal card. Any way that the other PC can use this same ISDN connection?

Doesn't XP Pro come with Internet Connection Sharing?

goes away to look............

Is this any help?

Basically, enable ICS on the XP machine (on the ISDN interface), then point the other PC to the proxy settings of the XP machine and that should allow web browsing.

I'd be keen to learn an easy way of doing this - I had it up and running with my NTL broadband connection but something seems to have changed recently such that I can have either the LAN or the broadband modem on, but not both (the broadband one refusing to work whilst the LAN one is active).

I have checked the IP addresses to make sure there are no conflicts - makes no odds, it won't play any more. Have tried ICS but it either a) ***** up the broadband setting such that it stops working, b) corrupts halfway through and flags a failure error message, or both.

I can't remember how I got it working originally, but pretty sure I set it up manually, as ICS re-sets everything and messes it up.

your basically gonna use your XP m/c as a gateway and set up internal IP addressing for anything you want on the net. (e.g. 192.168.0.0\24)
