I've connected 2 PCs on XP via a crossover cable.
The PCs can see each other files wise, but I cant gain internet access with the 2nd PC.
I'm on Virgin Media Broadband via a modem (no router) direct to a Network card on the host and the crossover connected via another NIC to the 2nd PC.
I've configured both NIC's with the IPs 192.168.0.1 & 2 respectively with subnet 255.255.255.0 on both but no joy with the internet on the 2nd PC.
I've tried XP Network Wizard several times, checked and double checked the ICS option.
Driving me crazy so any help would be appreciated folks.
Many thanks in advance.
