Hi,

I have 2 PC's both windows xp home. PC1 is connected with a wireless adapter to a router which is connected to a modem. PC2 is connected to PC1 with a firewire cable. I have setup a network between them and can successfully share files however i want to share the internet connection on PC1 with PC2. I have tried bridging connections on PC1 and setting both static and dynamic IP's with no avail. I have tried setting firewire connection on PC1 to share my computers internet connection and then on PC2 set the default gateway to the IP on PC1. I can't get it to work. Please Help.

Your default gateway and dns should be your routers address not pc1. PC1 passes the internet packets to PC2 but PC2 needs a gateway to the outside world which is the router not pc1.
