    Location of gateway settings on XP
    « on: December 29, 2008, 08:00:49 PM »
    I need to locate the settings on an XP to make it a network gateway. I have a computer that needs to connect to the Internet through the XP. Does anyone know where to find those settings.

      That was not particularly helpful. That setting is for connecting to a gateway.

      how is it that you've configured your machines?

      What form of internet do you have connected to the XP machine? (Dial up, DSL, Cable).


      The ideal method would be to purchase a dedicated router. other then that, you will probably need a second NIC from that your using for internet access.

        The network is being setup in this way due to the restrictions of the house and the room selected to be the office.
        XP -> Ethernet -> XP -> Wireless -> Router -> Ethernet -> DSL modem -> telephone -> ISP
        There is no telephone in the office. A new NIC would be required for the first XP to connect by wireless to the router. The second XP is having problems sharing the Internet. The two XP's are talking to each other (sharing files) but they don't want to admit it ("no or poor connection").

          The solution was to bridge the Internet side with the XP side in the network connections by selecting the connections and right clicking on them. No further thread required on this topic.
