wat u saying..am not geting it

I think cyborg didn't get your question. He must've thought you are talking about connecting two separate PCs and sharing the internet.

Anyway, I have heard of this problem before but never got interested enough to look around for the solution. I'd suggest you to reinstall the ethernet card driver that connects the machine to the internet in windows xp. See if that solves the problem otherwise just call the ISP. Get your money's worth.

IT might be due to a firewall perhaps.. try disabling it and ping
