I've tried everything! I have a small in home network with 2 PC's both running XP pro. The network works fine, both computers can share files and printers but for some reason I cannot connect to the internet from the client pc. It has worked in the past so I know that the hardware will work if set up right.
It started when I moved into a new house. I didn't have a land phone for over a month but once it got hooked up the client can't connect. The host connects fine. The host connection is set up to share the connection. I have ran the set up wizard many times but still, client can’t connect.
Please help.
Nic card are Linksys LNE100TX in both.
Zoom 56k modem
Linksys EFAH08W hub.
Like I said. Everything worked fine before but can’t get it set up correctly now.

OP
well, I thought I should let you know that I got it working, but ended up doing a complete reinstall. Re-formated the hard drive and installed xp on the client and it works

Thanks for your help davros, we tried everything but something must have been wrong with the os.
Thanks again.
