Hi have a AMD desktop which has 3 operating systems, XP Pro, Ultimate and windows 7. I connect to the net via Maxcon BP3-EXT WAN 3GPP (6280) modem. I have a HP laptop which has windows XP Pro.

I tried connecting both of them via a cross cable connection, however, I am unable to acess internet on my laptop.

I am able to discover files on the both systems, however I am not able to share the internet to the laptop.

Can anyone help please. I googled the problem a lot but with no good solution.

Any help will be appreciated.

Since you have to run ICS to do this trick, pick one O/S and get it working. I'd suggest the XP to start.


Take a look at this Microsoft ICS (Internet Connection Sharing tutorial.

Thanks for the information. I tried ICS on all the OS, but to no avail, however, I tried doing the manual IP configuration, and setting the main computer(which connect to net) with the DNS and Gateway ip, and shared the wireless connection, not the LAN, it works now on all the OS.

Thanks

There you go. Thanks for the feedback. FWIW, it's the wireless connection you share, not the LAN. You're "sharing" the Internet feed, right?
