    How do I share my Internet Connection in XP?

    Hi people I've got two networked PC's both running Win XP Pro and I would like to share my dial up connection with both of the machines.

    I How do I do this? And do I need to remove the original dial up account from the second machine to stop it from kick'in in?

    Cheers,

    Default XP

    Its easy in XP - you need to goto the control panel then into network connections screen then right click on the network card you have in your PC (the one that is connecting you to your other PC - it probally called local Area connection 2 or similar) and select properties and then select the advanced tab. The internet sharing is localed here - the rest is exaplain on screen.

    I dont think you will need to remove the dial up on the other PC as I beleive the internet sharing will change IE's setting to not use it anymore.

    hope this helps

    Cheers
