Robin if you are using XP then you have to enable ICS in the network properties, It will say allow another computer to gain access to the internet using this computer... Two real problems with this tho is that in order to use the internet or share the printer is the computer that is being shared has to be on all the time and it really uses the main computer bandwidth...Routers are coming down in price and alot of them have print servers built in, if you can afford this then maybe you should look at a router..imho
and one other thing robin if using windows 98 then you have to go into add/remove programs and add windows programs and add ICS
