heh you are asking for winXP help on a *nix board.

okies. here is what you do.

go to My Network Places and click "View Network Connections"

right click on you ISP's entry there and go to the Advanced tab.

check the box the sayd "Allow other computers to connect through this computer's Internet Connection"

*WARNING*

doing this resets your comps IP address to 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 if you aren't onan existing LAN, this won't cause a problem, but if you are are on an existing LAN this can cause problems.
