Subject: ME Shared Network

Trying to link an ME desktop to an XP laptop via Router/Hub and share
internet access with a dialup modem on the ME desktop. The two computers see
each other and can access each others files, so the network part is working
OK. The ME desktop can access the internet OK, however I cannot get the XP
laptop to access the internet even though I have set the ME desktop to share
the modem connection with the XP desktop. I have given each device an IP
address and each computer can run the router/hub setup by entering the
router/hub IP address in their browser.  Is it possible that this
combination will never allow the XP laptop to access the internet via the
shared ME desktop modem? I can upgrade the ME desktop to Win2000
professional, if that is the only option. Is there a tutorial somewhere I
could follow? I didn't find anything on the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
