Sharing Internet
Aug 24, 2005
I have two computers at home which has both WinXP installed. One has a internet connection(host)(DSL) and i wanted my other computer(client) to onnect through host internet connection. My host has 2 lan card installed one supposed to be for internet sharing. I already run WinXP Network Setup Wizard on both computers and both has same range of IP buth still i cannot share my internet connection.If I will be using cross cable connection, still anything else i need to configure aside from running Network setup Wizard and checking the Allow others to connect to this internet connection?Is it possible to use a hub to share internet connection, since I dont have a broadband router?How about using a wireless network because i do have one, how can i share internet using access point. How can i configure it? Is it also possible that
i use hub so that i have my access point connect to it and i still have ports
to connect using utp cable network.

I seem to have a problem sharing the Internet between 2 pcs. The Internet connection lasts for a while & then, later on, it doesn't work. Is there any reason why this might be? The 2 pcs have Windows XP & they are both configured using the Network Connection Wizard. They should both work fine but they don't.

1. When I go to access my firewall I get an error saying "Windows firewall settings cannot be displayed because of the associated service is not running. do you want to start the windows firewall/internet connection sharing (ics) service?"
I then hit yes and "windows cannot start the windowsfirewall/internet connection sharing (ics) service"I went to microsoft and found info on it but as I read all it seemed to say was "blah blah tech talk tech talk blah blah blah" I got no where...I really did try! Did something take over my firewall should I be scared?

I do not have an "Internet Connection Sharing" section when I go into the wireless network selection properties, and then click on advanced. All that is showing up is the windows firewall. I am using a Linksys Wireless G PCI network adaptor. I am on Windows XP, professional, 2002, SP2. Someone I know has the same system, but it is the media center edition and it has the ICS section under the advanced tab... I'm not sure if the media center edition has anything to do with it or not. Am I missing a driver? Is there anything that I can do about this?

I know the wizard will not work, but I was wondering if it was at all possible to manually configure the pc's so it would work.

I'm trying to set my desktop up as computer that would allow others to connect through it. The desktop is upstairs and connects wirelessly to my router downstairs. I've loooked at some guides that explain how to set it up for sharing and they say to right click the connection, then go to properties, then advanced tab, and there will be the options for internet connection sharing. However, there are no options there that relate to "Internet Connection Sharing" only Windows Firewall with a "Settings" button.

I am doing volunteer work at an organization that is all volunteers. Since I have some IT skills they have asked me to manage their workgroups network of 8 computers. (This is really out of my field of expertise which is Oracle DB administration, but I enjoy the challenge of getting through the learning curve.)
To build up some hands-on knowledge and experience, I have acquired an extra computer and have installed Windows XP from scratch, i.e. on a completely re-formatted disk. I now want to connect it to our LAN in order to use printer and file sharing and our internet connection which is via a router (?residential gateway?).
How to config Internet Connection Sharing in Windows XP but the instructions do not seem applicabale to our configuration (please see the last paragraph above). I have also tried wokring with the chapter "Setting Up a Workgroup Network" in David Pogue's book, "Windows XP Pro, The Missing Manual". After all is said and done on the client as an administrator or non-administrator, any time I try to go to a webpage via Internet Explorer, I get the message "The page cannot be displayed".

Laptop one running winXP home edit. Connecting to broadband via usb client device. Connecting via rj45 crossover cable to. Laptop two running winME. I got to the point where I could actually run the "set up a home or small office network" on both computers, which enabled me to tenuously connect to the internet via the crossover cable. However, immediately after running the "set up....." on the XP machine it disabled the driver GUI for the usb client card. I was still connected, but couldn't see what I was doing.
There are many tutorials available out there, but there are so many permutations of OSs, hubs, client devices, and routers, that it's hard to find something that makes sense for me. I downloaded the "Microsoft Networking Guide" from msn and throughout it states in no uncertain terms that you must NOT use a crossover type cable. Yet in the help notes on the very same site there are plentiful hints on how to use a crossover cable. I'd like to use the crossover since it is "supposed" to be the simplest methond. But if I must go out and buy a hub device, I guess I must.

I had accidentally created a LAN connection, disabled, removed it, and had discovered the Internet Connection Sharing had disappeared, under the advanced tab of "Wireless Internet Connection". I have looked, and looked for a solution to this problem but can not find one. I had found a workaround, tried it, but it just caused my computer to freeze up.

I'm trying to share my internet connection with another connection. It's a wifi dongle for a wireless handheld. In order to get connectivity on this dongle, I need to share my connection. But when I attempt to do this, I recieve an error: "An error occurred while Internet Connection Sharing was being enabled This specified service does not exist as an installed service."
I'm using WinXP SP2 and I've searched on the Windows.com site for a while and downloaded some help files. But, it gives no indication on how to get ICS if you are getting this error. Does anyone have any tips or ideas on what I can try or how to get ICS? I've also reinstalled SP2, but I'm still not able to share my connection and recieve the same error. In Services I have Windows Management Instrumentation and Remote Access Manager but I don't have Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing listed.

My main computer's (XP, SP3) Internet connection is shared among 3 other machines via ICS. However, one machine (XP, SP3) - which runs a couple of P2P programs - usually loses its connectivity (even file sharing) after a few days. I'm running Kaspersky Internet Security on the main computer. I've tried disabling it (for testing purposes) to no avail. I've also disabled Windows Firewall on both machines with no improvement. Using a router is pointless because it freezes after a few days (due to the P2P programs). I've tried 4 or 5 different routers (even the "good" brands).
Is it simply an overload in terms of the number of connections possible? Does ICS, in principle, face the same problems as a typical router? Because I've even tried reducing the number of P2P programs to just one and also limiting the number of connections it makes. (Not to mention "fixing" the 'tcpip.sys' limit on both machines.) Any ideas what the problem could be and how to fix it?

I'm trying to help a mate set up a wireless network to share his new adsl connection between 2 desktop pc's in different parts of the house. He has a modem/router and a switch/wireless ap device, and a usb wireless dongle each machine. Have had all sorts of problems, solved one by one, but for this last one. One of the pc's works fine (Win XP Home), while the other one times out with any internet access attemp (Wn XP Pro sp2). He doesn't need the pc's to talk to each other, only to the internet. one is his and the other his wifes, and they both have work stuff on their machines and don't do lan parties etc. He just wants to get online at the same time. From the machine that doesn't work, I can ping the other pc, the AP, and the modem router fine, but it can't find anything beyond the modem.
If I ping a domain name rather than ip address, it can't even find a dns server to resolve the name. I have spent hours going over and over all the settings. Both machines are set up identically in every respect (relevant to the network that is) but for the fact that one is XP Home and the other XP Pro. Both use only Windows Firewall, and in fact for testing, I've disabled firewall completely on the recalcitrant machine. Both use the same AP, switch, router and modem, and get their IP from the same dhcp server in the modem. I can't figure out why one is working, and the other isn't. My last "long shot" is some difference between XP home and XP Pro. I've never used Pro before, but figured that there shouldn't be a difference for the simple stuff I need to achieve here. but hopefully, I might be wrong?

I have four computers on a LAN (Local Area Network)Three of them are on Windows XP Professional, the other is in Windows 2000 Yesterday, The Windows 2000 system ceased connecting to the internet. I went and checked all of the TCP/IP Information in it and I can find nothing wrong with it. About fifteen minutes later my XP ceased connecting to the net, I checked all info there and as far as I can see there is nothing wrong with my system settings nor hardware.

Right after my computer is finishes booting, suddenly there's a prompt telling me that Internet Explorer wants to change my Internet Protection settings. Then it asks me if I want to give IE permission to change these settings. Of course not (I think?). And the problem is still there. I connect with Verizon DSL, but when I go on Internet Explorer, the browser doesn't work properly- it says "Web Page Unavavailable While Offline"- what's up with that?! I even checked the status of my connnection- "Connected"! It's just retarded.

I recently came back to cable modem, and set up my linksys router. hardwire to desktop, wireless to laptop. internet works great on both, but can not share. checked the share settings on both, checked computer and workgroup name, and no luck. I am not real savvy on computer knowledge but open to try. By the way, this used to work when it was initially hooked up.

We have a 6 user office (Mac/Windows) networked with Workgroup. One of the computers doubles as a desktop for the secretary and file server. The computer runs Windows XP Pro. This computer shares a folder and everyone can access it. I need to restrict access to this folder or a subfolder.I have used Administrative Tools to setup users and groups. I can't find a way to setup privileges and restrict access to a folder depending on the user.

I have a minor problem in that fairly frequently my system will freeze when I close a window by clicking on the top right "X", although it seems to close normally when using the "Edit-Close" function. On freezing, Taskmanager indicates that "explorer.exe" is running 100% CPU resource, and can only be closed by rebooting via reset button.The only thing of any possible concern I've noticed is that there are 11 apps sharing IRQ7, while my laptop with the same OS and a similar set of applications does not even use IRQ7, and has no more than 2 apps on two IRQs.There may be no correlation between the freeze problem and the IRQ setup, but it makes me uneasy.

-Is the computer connected to the domain: Yes.
-Can the computer ping other computers: Yes.
-Can the computer access other network shares? Yes.

I am trying to set up a shared folder on an XP pro machine and give permissions to only certain domain users. Problem is when I go to permissions, then "Add" then the only location I can see is the local computer - no option to see in the domain for users/computers on the domain. WIN2000 clients bring up the option of the local computer name and the domain no problem.

Recently I accidentally noticed that all 4 drives on my personal computer were being shared (C: 2 mirrored drives, F, G, H external drives). My login has admin rights, so thru drive properties Sharing, I disabled Sharing for each drive. Thru Network Connections/ Local Area Connection/ Properties/ General I also removed "File and Printer Sharing for MS Networks"
(I noticed on the Advanced tab that "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet Connection was checked and grayed out so I was mysteriously unable to disable this...) Problem is everytime I reboot the computer, the drives show up being shared again although the "File and Printer Sharing for MS Networks" protocol does remain disabled so I have to disable each drive again. I have never chosen to share my drives, don't wish to and am concerned about the insecurity and my inability to permanently disabled the sharing. how to stop the sharing or what might be causing this?

I have been experiencing a problem with sharing folders between two Windows XP Pro (SP2) Computers. I have searched the internet high and low for a solution, but i have not found one. This problem is driving me insane.When sharing folders between the two machines I AM able to access the folders and find them in "My Network Places". The problem is, while I am able to view the contents of all shared folders correctly, some files will not open and i will get a "you do not have appropriate permissions..." error. This is very random.... for example: say I have a shared folder with 30 files in it... I will be able to open and copy/move most of them, but there are several that will not open (when i try to launch these 'problem' files [zip, exe, wmv, whatever] I will get the error mentioned above). I dont understand how files in the same shared folder will act so differently.

I have setup the two external HDD's as share on the primary. I can see those HDD's through "My Network Places" on the secondary computer, but I get an error stating that I must see the administrator for access permissions. Is there a clean and safe way to share these 2 external hard drives from the secondary computer by leaving them connected to the primaru computer?
