Internet sharing
I have a workgroup set up at a clients site, he has a few XP machines and has
purchased a new Vista machine. He wants the internet to run through the Vista machine. I am able to enable network sharing and all the machines are able to see each other on the network and share files etc... The problem is that the Vista machine can break out onto the internet and open sites left right and center but the XP machines are unable to break out to the web through the Vista machine. Any idea what it can be? we have adjusted all the settings as per the information given on the microsoft site and the system help centre but to no avail. Thanx, Helgard
