How to connect to internet over a lan

Here is the results on client:

Due to sensative material I have deleted the images, mainly because I found the problem.

Thanks.

Well it looks like it must be a hard one to fix!

Thanks for trying though.

Cheers.
If anyone else can shed some light on this please help!

I'm guessing the problem is like all DSL connections.

You have a login/password. If you plug your Router in and go through the setup hoops, it should pull the DSL login info off of the computer you had hooked up before and log in for your whole network. If it doesn't either you don't haven it plugged in properly, set up the router improperly, or you just got a ****ty router. I kinda doubt the last one in most cases.

I'm a cable advocate... no login & no resident software.

Presuming you're using XP, have a look here:

I was trying to do the same and then decided to buy a router with a DSL WAN connection (DG834G) which has the benefit of Wireless connectivity for our laptops and it means I don't need to leave the host PC on all the time. I picked it up on ebay for about £45.

Perhaps I skipped some of the posts here, but if you have a router, you don't need a host PC. The router will do it for you.

Hi I have gone through completely with both of the following links & both come up with the same results.
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/ics_xp
http://xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4150-1754853,00.html
I can access the internet on the Host PC & can share files over the Lan on either host & client, but the client will not access the internet, I can try on the client with, or without a firewall, makes no difference???

Am checking your link now lesrae, but not holding my breath!

Frustrated big time!

Edit: wouldn't have a clue about any of this, way over my head!!
