Problems with internet access

Hello,

I would greatly appreciate any help. I have a network set up at home between 2 computers, directly, no hub, no router(both have xp). On my host computer I`m able to access the internet fine. On my client computer, it recognizes the connection between the 2 and recognizes a gateway to the internet but when I try to use the internet, all I get is the message "The page connot be displayed", "Cannot find server or DNS error". If it makes things any easier, I`m trying to connect this client computer in place of my Xbox which ran Xbox Live through my host computer to the internet perfectly. Perhaps it has something to do with my client computer not knowing to connect through the gateway ?

Thank you,

P.S. I`m able to share files between both computers fine.

Here's a test you can make on the problematic computer.

ping 66.94.234.13

If pings timeout then this is not a dns problem, but a networking related problem. Take your question to the networking forum. If the ping works then we'll further test things.

no it doesn`t timeout, it says destination unreacheable 4 times then it says: sent 4, received 0, lost 4 (100% loss)

heh! Then that's definately not a dns problem. It's a routing problem. Take your question to the networking forum.
