Ok, off the wall problem here. I recently upgraded 2 machines here to Windows ME from Windoes 98. One machine is connectd to a Cable Modem for a specific function. It is also connected to a router and is then connected to another PC. (This is all removed from our normal LAN and WAN). I want to have the second PC be able to use the Internet through the Cable modem, but here is my problem:
The 1st PC uses the Cable Modem fine, the NIC for the cable modem is using DNS and is having the Cable Provider assign everything. The other NIC connecting to the router is using its normal Static IP. When setting up the ‘home’ networking options, it walks me throught the NIC ID’d and such but NEVER shares the one required for internet access.When on the other system, I can see the 1st system, and the shared directories and printer, but there is no internet item to use, therefore it cannot access the internet through the cable modem. The IP address and Subnet Mask are correct, and I am only using TCP/IP.
Any ideas?
