Ok I just networked my Laptop up to my PC using a crossover cable with the idea that the PC is going to be connecting to the internet through my Cable connection (USB) and the laptop will the share off it via the crossover cable.
The problem is that when I made the connection it states, "Limited or no connectivity" on the LAN connection icon. However I was able to share the Hard drives and printers etc but not the internet.
Now the strangest thing has happened because when I went to unplugg the Crossover cable and revert back to my old PC to ADSL Modem I now cant even use the internet!! however I can with the laptop?
My PC is running WinXP SP2 and the Laptop is running Windows XP without SP2. I tried turning off the firewall thinking that might of been it but nothing
Any ideas?
