Again I state that I'm learning about networks as I go. And I have 2 computer ethernet network. One computer has Win xp os and the other Vista os. Win xp is the host. It has dsl and printer hooked to it.
Each computer can see each other and talk to each other. Vista can use the printer on Win xp. But it can't connect to dsl internet connection on Win xp. In network connection on Win xp it says --Verizon Online, Connected, Shared--. In network connection on Vista it says --Broadband Connection, Disconnected, WAN Miniport(PPPOE)--
On Win xp in network connections under details it says --Verizon Online, Broadband, Connected, Shared, WAN Miniport(PPPOE), 1.1.1.1, IP Address: 72.90.6.94, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.255, Assigned by Service Provider--
Whenever I try to connect to the internet on Vista it gives me an error message --Broadband network connection could not be established on your computer because the remote server is not responding. This could be caused by an invalid value for the Service Name field for this connection--
Can someone help me please?
