i am running win xp on both computers and using a crossover cable.
i am able to share files no problem, but no matter what i do i can not share the internet. it is only a dial up connection with aol everything seems to be ok all files sharing and windows firewall is set to allow networking and aol.do i need to set up the aol connection on the cliant pc. tried to setup aol to use a lan connection but will still not connect.any ideas as i have read a lot of trouleshooting but it all seems to read the same.thanks in advance.

The setting-up of that program is quite tricky, see the readme file. We use it at the office and it works fine.

You should only really need to run a network setup wizard to get the internet shared throughout the network.

You can not share internet with an AOL account. Changed ISP
