Internet Connection Sharing. ME & XP System
I have a windonws ME system and a XP. I currently have the two networked with a crossover cable. Which works fine, i have also had them both successfully sharing a internet connection using the Windows ME system as the dial up pc.
I have recently upgraded to a broadband USB modem and would like to share the connection again with the Windows XP pc. Its driving me nuts, and the wife!!! (its her XP Pc) Thank You

install http://www.proxyplus.cz/ on the machine that connects to your broadband. It is free for upto 3 users. Thats the best way. Good Luck

Yes your right. Ive had to use the XP pc as the gateway. It hasnt really affected my bandwidth unless of course were on at the same time. Im giving you the points Greenkodiak. Xp & win really arent the best of friends!! :)
TX Rayygun...
One note... As long youre not downloading heavy stuff, its not a big issue to use internet on several PC's.
On a ~150 down- and ~15 upload internet sharing router connection, i've seen up to 5 or 6 PC's working just fine...
But, like I mentioned, go easy on downloading the heavy things...
