File Sharing ok but can't share internet

Hi I have an xp laptop and xp computer sharing files and printers but they will not share my computer Internet could any 1 help me please.

Have you made sure that the Internet connection is shared on the computer with the connection? Right-click it in the network connections, click the Advanced tab and make sure that Internet Connection Sharing is enabled.

On the other computers, ensure that the default gateway is set to the IP address of the computer sharing the Internet connection.

If you still can't access the Internet, can you browse to http://66.102.9.104 ? If you can, you may have a DNS problem.

Enabled my Internet Connection Sharing. How do i change the ip of my default gateway? I think I no wot u mean but I am not sure. Coz I changed the ip on my connection on my laptop and it sed ip conflicted

this is my ipconfig 4 the comp wich is connected 2 the modem Microsoft Windows XP

For the computer which is connected to the modem, you're getting IP addresses like this: "2002:d92a:24d2:5:20c:6eff:fe63:fdfa". Do you have any network bridges setup? Have you got a firewire connection installed? You need to remove any network bridges and get rid of any firewire connections for the moment.

ok wen i try 2 get rid of my network bridges they wount go away. i can disable them. how do i get rid of my firewire connection. coz i have a ipod wich uses firewire but its not conecte. wot shud i do.

OK, you're probably safe to leave the firewire connection there. But you need to remove the bridge for now. If you right-click the network bridge there should be an option to remove or delete I think.

When i try and delet the bridge it says the connection u selected cannot be delered. i have also got a wireles connection 4 a nuther laptop but i dont wount them all 2gether. so i wount have them working at the smae time but if i can that would be a added bouns but i woun the wired 2 be working be 4 i get in 2 that.btw the wireless net works fine but on that 1 i am the computer which conects 2 the net through anuther comp. wot can u tell me now

btw the 2 bridges r called 1394 Connection 2 and 1394 Connection r these right one's.
these r all my connecstions in my network folder if it gives u any ideas.

i would be so happy if u could sort me out coz it is realy geting on my

I'm a little confused about what you've actually got. Can you take a screenshot of the network connections screen and attach it to your next post?

ok there u go. btw as u can c iam on a wireless network but i dont host the internet for that and it works fine. but now i have i new laptop which is closer i wounted to make us networked. thats wot iam trying to do. Will it still let me use both wired and wireless. i dont mean at the same time.

Do u have any ideas yet. The laptop can share files but it won’t share internet connection that’s all I won’t doing. Please

edwinbrains please help

Firstly, you don't have a network bridge installed.

Secondly you appear to have lots of the connections disabled. Right-click both the Wireless Network Connection and Wired Connection and select Enable. Then check that they change from the grey colour into active colours.

Thirdly you appear to have the one Internet connection. This has been shared. But, when you share out the Internet, you can only share it to the one network connection. Right-click Dial-up PPP Connection, click Properties and select the Advanced tab. You'll see a drop-down list where you have to select which connection you want to use as the network connection. Whichever one you select here is the one to which the Internet will be shared. It cannot be shared to both connections.

But, I think in your situation it would probably be good to create a network bridge. Select the Wireless Network Connection and then Ctrl click the Wired Connection. This should just select those two. Then, right-click one of them and select the option to create a bridge. Once you've created a bridge, confirm that it contains the wired and wireless connections only. After this, configure the Internet connection to be shared across the network bridge. Then, setup a static IP address correctly the same as the other computers, and see what luck you have pinging.



Please give me time to respond. Just posting stuff like that isn't going to get me replying any quicker.
