Making slow progress but need more help please....

Hi, trying to establish a wireless peer to peer network between XP
desktop and win 98 laptop. Have finally been able to get Network
neighborhood/My network places to work. Can share folders etc.

However cannot connect to the internet on laptop. I have an icon in the
systray thst says Internet Gateway connected but IE just gives me the
Page not Found page. In IE Connection is set to LAN - automatically
adjust settings. On desktop, connection is set to share and i have
turned firewall off. Any ideas?

On the matter of firewalls - I need to disable it (PC-Cillon 2003 and
Win XP built-in) to get computers to talk to each other. But as I'm on
broadband I need a Firewall - how do I get round that?

Thanks

Steve
