Help! Cannot connect to Internet

Nov 26, 2003 3:26PM PST

I'm rather confusing something. I'd like to use
Windows XP Professional and connect to internet with it.
I'm trying everything i can. I think I installed network correctly. It is OK for Win ME with the same setting, but not For XP. What is wrong?

Thanksfully yours,
zarni

You've left out how you connect to the Internet...Dial-up, DSL or Cable.

Is the XP PC linked to another PC witn Win ME?

Are you using a Router or Switch?

Are you using ICS ~ Internet Connection Sharing?
