Internet Connection Sharing - Xp And Vista by Nobody: 10:13pm On Jun 30, 2009 |
Does anyone know how to share an internet connection between XP and Vista systems? The XP system is the one connected to the internet, and I need to share it with a Vista laptop. Anyone? |

lynxnoon:Not if you have up to two wireless cards on your laptop, the laptop could act as a router. From the xp system, go to network connection and right click on the internet connection you want to share click on properties and click sharing. Check the sharing box and it informs you that the card to which you shared will take an ip address of 192.168.0.1 agree and click OK to continue. If you have an anti virus like bit defender, under the firewall rule, enable internet connection sharing and from your card, disable the firewall on the LAN or WLAN depending on the one that will be connected locally. Hope you understand? 017330538 for issues. |

I used a LAN cable, not wireless card, but that shouldn't make a difference. I saw the 192.168.0.1 thing, and I set the Vista system to 192.168.0.2. Even though they pinged each other (the connection was alright), the internet didn't share. |
