Help
i finally got WinXP's ICS to work using 3 nics and crossover cable to network 2 PCs...i have 2 nics on my pc thats bridged and one on the client pc. tho its ghey that i still have to dial my PPPoe account on the client to connect to the internet. but what sucks is that my connection on the host machine is dropped whenever the client adapter/nic is disconnected (when pc shutdown/restart). i'm using covad dsl. i unchecked the "Establish dial-up.." and "allow user to control connection..." boxes under the advanced tab of the Covad connection. any solutions???
thanks

i only need to network 2 PCs and they're ten feet away from each other....i alrready had the nics so all i need is cable
btw some1 told me that it might be a dhcp problem....the client might be supplying it when the main machine should...does anyone know how to change this so that the main/host pc is supplying dhcp?
