crossover network and internet sharing problem

Hi,

I've a small network based on crossover cable between
windows Xp computer and windows 98 computer. The network
is working perfectly but I can't share internet in the
windows 98 computer. I've a DSL connected to the computer
with XP via USB port. So I don't know why I can't have
internet? Need help
Thank u, Latif.

Did you enable ICS on the modem connection?

I've written a web site that should help you get everything working:

Windows XP Internet Connection Sharing

If the DSL connection uses PPPoE, share XP's PPPoE connection, not the
USB connection.

Go to advanced under TCP/IP properties and see if yo have
a check box under protect this PC from others checked.
Also you muct enable internet sharing on the XP machine.
