Either get ya self an internet gateway appliance or add a second nic and ICS to the main PC and connect it directly to the internet and share it to the second PC usin' the 2nd nic. ;)

If I have windows XP in both computers can I share the same connection using only the windows option to share my Internet connection?
When I tried to share in the network the connection stopped working, maybe there is something that has to be configured because with my old dial up connection I could share the connection without problems. Could it be an incompatibility issue between XP and ME?

There's a big difference between dailup and broadband. ;)

This is your setup now (if I understand ya right)

but that won't work as one PC must get the internet first and then share it. :no:

Either of these two setups is what ya need. ;)

In the last pic a switch/hub can be inserted between the two PC's shown. The last would be easier for you to implement and that is how my network is setup also. :devil win
