Ok, I recently connected my new computer to my old one so I can run the internet off that too. I bought a CAT5e Patch Cable (Ethernet male to male) and linked em up. I ran the network setup wizard on both ends and my computer picked up the internet connection. The strangest thing is, I can't view certain webpages. Like this one for example, I am typing this right now on my old PC. And I can view eBay, when when I click on 'My eBay' it just says it is loading (i see the loading progress bar go to one bar and stay like that).
It is like this:
The internet <======Computer 1 <======Computer 2
Computer one is the old computer which connects directly to the internet with the modem. Computer 2 is the new computer which connects to Computer 1 and uses the same internet connection.
Also, I cannot access Computer 1's shared folder/files via Computer 2 and vice versa. On Computer 2 I can click on 'View Workgroup Computers' whilst in 'My Network Places' and sometimes it will bring up Computer 2 and Computer 1. I double click Computer 1 and it says that I don't have the necessary permissions bla bla bla (I can't remember the rest). Sometimes it doesn't even show Computer 1 on the list.
When on Computer 1 I do the same steps up to clicking on 'View Workgroup Computers' and it won't even let me go any further. Again, something about permissions....
Can someone give me a hand here please?
Thank you
