I am trying to set up two computers to share a single wireless internet connection that currently exists on a Windows 2000 Machine. I have the correct cabling and have taken all the necessary steps, but it appears that XP does not want to act as a client to a 2000 machine. I cannot upgrade the 2000 unit to XP, I cannot move the internet connection to the XP unit, I simply need the XP unit to share the internet connection of the 2000 machine through the network that I have set up. Any help?

I've the same problem and cannot find Windows 2000 Machine for server and xp client. the local cabling is ok, I can see the machines each other and take documents each other but it appears that XP does not want to act as a client to a 2000 machine. I try to use wingate (because I have adsl and usb modem) but it seems incompatible to xp (I write it should be ok but...) as I redemarre the computer my personal configuration is not coming did you receive some help ?

I have always search by IP address in the network search feature and have found the 
computer you are trying to network to.  Some XP name resolving problem.   RIGHT CLICK>MY 
NETWORK PLACES>SEARCH>put in static IP address

I had the same problem. Turned out to be a simple DNS problem. All I had to do was go into the TCP/IP properties of the connection and enter a couple of valid DNS servers. Everything worked fine after I did that.
