Ross,

You should enable "Internet Connection Sharing" from the PC which has the
internet connection. This will allow the other system to connect through
this system and to the internet.
Please read this Support article for more information:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...nmore/ics.mspx

In general the Knowledge Base articles are very helpful if you have a
problem with the configuration or use of a certain product/feature.
Regarding ICS, these can be found like this:

Hi
May be this can Help.
There are variety of ways to have a Network and share the Internet, the
nature of the precise setting depends on how the whole system look like.
The content of the following links will provide you with a tutorial about
the issue. It is short and to the point.

Hubs, routers, switches, DSL, LANs, WANs...? -

The pages above was written by me ages ago. You might ignore the prices and
Brand recommendations. The principles however are still the same.
