I have had no problem so far setting up the Internet connection and getting
it to sign in and remember the password. The problem I am having is trying to set-up a connection to allow other users on the system to access the internet, I have followed the instruction but no success. |

Robert,
This is a home computer with no other devices connected. I just want to allow other users to have access on their log-on. I have no problems as I worked out how to set it up so that it remembers UserName and Password. This does not work for any other User on this machine. I have followed the instruction on setting up a shared connection but it does not work. "Robert L [MVP - Networking]" wrote: I mean if you can ping a public IP from the client?

Frustrated Internet loner,
I'm sorry you're experiencing trouble. There are a few useful resources to help you set up a connection: 1) In Vista's local help, search on the phrase, "connection sharing" and you will see an article giving you step-by-step directions on sharing an internet connection. 2) Online Vista help has a similar set of articles at: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Win...d1e9e1033.mspx and finally, 3) There's a TechNet article at: http://technet2.microsoft.com/Window....mspx?mfr=true "Frustrated Internet loner" wrote: Robert, This is a home computer with no other devices connected.

I am having the same problems as the thread starter
I have a Vista PC and an XP laptop wired together with ethernet cable. The Vista PC is acting as the The Internet Connection server. Both machines can see each other on the net and share files, but the XP machine cannot access the internet. It can see It works perfectly well with WS2K on the other end (The vista machine dual boots). "Kim [MS]" wrote: Frustrated Internet loner, I'm sorry you're experiencing trouble.
