Answer» Quote Ok I just started them both up. It's done the exact flaming thing. Arghh!!!! [smiley=angry.gif] [smiley=angry.gif] I don't want to live with the aggrivation as the computer will eventually be over the other side of the house. And the idea is that all my sister needs to do is turn it on and she can print from there and go on the internet. I dont get the fact that it is working but when you turn the computer off everything resets. If you have netbeui configured, enable internet sharing, that will enable TCPIP to be used along with NetbeuI. I did find out that you dont need to be assigned an IP automatically from your ISP. You can assign them staticly. So the above should work. But your settings reset each time is weird. So just try stictly ASSIGNING IPS like the above show.Found the problem people! Took it to a friend, he had a look. It turns out the USB ethernet adaptor is faulty. Borrowed a PCI one, works fine! remembers it's IP, shares things, ICS works fine! Well that was the problem, I thought the first adive was a bit weird...Good for you for the SOLUTION and spotting the faulty "advice". First off buy a $20 switch and it will SAVE you all the headach. Plucg your modem into it and then let it assign IP to the other computers, very easy to setup. Otherwise- the Dynamic IP being given out by the ISP is for the modem itself not the computer. You do not even have to run the WIZARD if you fllow the post above by ROB.
