Sharing 2 Internet ConnectionsHi, in our house we have rubbish satallite connection, so we've kept our
existing dial-up. We have two pc's (both running XP Pro SP2) and naturally one of them is the primary computer from which both connections run. However we frequently need to switch between dial-up and broadband connections (maybe once every 1-2 days (crazy)). Each time a switch is needed, the main computer has to run the Network Setup Wizard to switch which connection is shared, otherwise the second computer will have no access. Running this wizard is a pain in the neck, so I was wondering if there was any means of sharing BOTH broadband and dial-up connections at once, saving all this messing around. Thanks!

You can configure Internet Connection Sharing without using the Network Setup Wizard. To share (unshare) a network connection: 1. Open the Network Connections folder. 2. Right-click the connection. 3. Click Properties > Advanced. 4. Check (uncheck) the box "Allow other network users to connect..." -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
