Satellite Internet - Dlink 624... cannot connect

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

I have a machine running Windows XP Home that connects to the internet via
dialup (land line) for upstream and satellite for downstream (USB modem
connected). Works very well.

I have a Dlink 624 wireless router which allows other users to access
drives, printers etc.

I now want to have the wireless laptop access the internet and I cannot
remember how to make this happen. W2k on the laptop can see all the drives
on the XP machine, use the printer but no see the internet.

Please can someone steer me in the correct direction step by step

Thanks!

Pete

Why do you configure the clients to use the XP box as a proxy server?

Ron Bandes, CCNP, CTT+, etc.
