Networking with 2 laptops and a dial-up?
Need help big-time for configuring a network using 2 laptops with WindowsXP and a dial-up plus a twisted-pair 10/100 LAN cable to run between the computers and have both connected to the Internet at the same time.
We've tried configuring on 2 laptops, making one the "host" and the other "guest" but could not get the second one to connect at all regardless how many times we ran the network configuration wizard on each unit. With or without firewall enabled, and with or without "Allow Internet Sharing" or "File Sharing" selected.
What gives? Where is the "ease of sharing the Internet" that MS promised?!
Help, please, anyone.
