I am new here, but I was wondering if you all could help. I used a cross over cable to network two boxes both running win 2000. One box has a connection to a cable modem. I would like to share taht connection with the other box but i cant get the sharing to work. I have tried with a static IP on both boxes over the in house network, I have tried with autodetect settings on both boxes, I have tried with static on one box and static on the other, and vice versa, and still nothing seems to work. The second box has not had any of the win2k service packs installed. If anyone could help I would be very appreciative. Thanks.

I have tried all of that and it still didn't work, so I bought a hub. Both PC's are hooked up and can see each other, but the pc that was having problems before still cannot access the net while the other can. Both boxes are set up for dhcp, so i have no idea what the problem is.

they can ping each other, the box connected to the modem has sharing enabled.
