Internet Connection Sharing

[Guest]

Dear All,
I have a Windows XP SP2 on a PC with 2 network cards, the first one is for
the ADSL Internet Connection, and the second one connected with a W2K pc.
The problem is when trying to share the ADSL internet connection between the
2 PC's, the second network card connecting the 2 PC's displaying a message
that there is limited or no connectivity between them.
So please, can any one help me connecting the PC's together and share the
internet connection between them.
Note: I have read the KB #306126from Microsoft and nothing happened after
doing the instructions.

Best Regards,
Fares

Hello Fares,

The 'limited or no connectivity' message that you get due to the second NIC connected with the Win2K
machine is because that NIC has an IP of 169.254.XXX.XXX. If you can browse the shared contents of
one machine from another, you shuld be fine. You should also enable ICS on the NIC that is connected
to the internet as mentioned here:
