re: Sharing internet on Windows 2000 Monday, March 23, 2009 at 12:53 pm Posted by geek9pm (286 messages posted) Does the new PC run Vista? Is your wireless from a router or from a PC running windows 2000? We need some more info before we can answere your question. In general, a wireless router has a setup program that is not a actual part of Windows 2000. In Windows 2000 sharing is needed when the PC that hooks to the internet has two network connections. One to the internet and another to the Local Network. If there is only one connection, then sharing is not available. An alternative to sharing is bridging. That also requires two connections.

Not clear at all what you have to work with as far as hardware and how you are trying to connect.. You will have to give much more detail on what you have (hardware etc), what you are trying to do (how you are trying to connect everything together), and what operating systems are involved.. ;-) [Reply or follow-up to this message] re: Sharing internet on Windows 2000 Tuesday, March 24, 2009 at 8:10 pm Posted by DEX (11847 messages posted) Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites Click Here In win2k you have a great help file,, type in sharing and you will see many items listed .. be sure to logon as the Admin. ======== Are you a wood worker ?,if so Click Here On Monday, March 23, 2009 at 12:43 pm, Amy wrote: >I'm trying to connect my new PC to our wireless, but i've been told I need to go >to >Control Panel > Network and Dial-up connections > enabled internet connection > Sharing >tab > >there's no sharing tab! >does that mean it's been locked or something? please help!!
