i am running a desktop on xp sp2 and a laptop on xp sp1, i have a belkin
modem/router i am attempting to share an internet connection(broadband
tiscali)but, every time i atempt to configure everything something isnot
working eg if in
tcp/ip on the wireless connection i have to allow ip to given automatically
to have internet access from the modem/router, but then i can not see other
pc's in my workgroup (which is named etc correctly), but if i manually put an
ip in the wireless tct/ip ican see both pc's in workgroup but do not have any
internet access, to be online now i have had to replug my usb modem in.
hopefully someone out there can help

You have to describe how your system is connected in more details.

If you have a Modem/Router combo what is the roll of USB?

If both computers can access the Internet but do not share files between
them then this might help: http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html
