I've got two computers.1. AMD athlon 700 (win2000Pro)
2. AMD athlon 900 (win2000Pro) I've got the LAN cards working aswell as the LAN, using RJ cable w/o a hub. (crossover cable???) My athlon 900 is also connected to the internet via ISDN. When I try to use the connections sharing it just keeps on failing. I.e. explorer reports that it can't connect. The funny thing is that I got it working before when the athlon700 was running win98. Any thoughts? ------------------

So both machines are supposed to obtain the ip adress automatically? Ok, I'll try that, but I've had problems with both machines NOT showing up in the "Workgroup" with this setting.While I read the help file, I got the impression that the machine that shares it's internet connection should infact be using 192.168.0.1 and mask 255.255.255.0. This is incorrect?? ------------------

Thanks for your efforts Sinister.I normaly have only one computer, the athlon700 is to be upgraded, it's a internet challenged friends machine. Who just installed Win2000. It kinda seems unjustified to get a HUB for two days of use. I have no problems getting the LAN working, i.e both machines are visible and able to communicate. We played some Q3A and CounterStrike etc. etc. I have been able to install some upgrades DirectX8 and others that were available for download as separate files. The problem starts as we try to acces the windows update site, via his machine. 404 server not found. I have setup everything like I did before when the internet connection sharing worked. Only difference is that my friend was running Win98 and we used a Coaxal cable then. I wonder if the sharing needs some aditional settings when both machines are running Win2000 and does it matter if I use the crossover cable, instead of the Coaxal. ------------------

!! THIS IS SO EASY !!if you have w2k running on one of both machines its very easy to set up and every OS will be able to connect.. ok here it comes. on the machine with the internet connection go to dial-up networking, right click on your internet connection icon.. go to the tab sharing ( or something like that ) and set sharing ON! on the other machine just put the ip of the other machine in the gateway of tcp/ip.. goto config screen > network > tcp/ip > settings > gatway.. here enter the ip of the machine with the internet and your all done ! this works fine!

(but you already knew I would say that didn't you?lol). But in their infinite ignorance, er, wisdom, Microsoft has set up a li't thing 
h i thought you had ICS turned on it is a DHCP server form what i understand. but then again you are running win2k and I dont know that one.I guess I should install it to learn about it.
