Ok, bit of a strange one...
I have been going on the internet with my laptop by using my main pc as a gateway for nearly a year without any troubles.
I recently upgraded to 1mbit internet with the same ISP (bt).
Now, for some reason, I cant get on the net...but it shows that the lan is connected, but I can't view workgroup computers.
I have tried two crossover cables, to no avail.
I have also removed and reinstalled the bridge/ICS.
I'm stumped, never known this to happen before.
I find it a bit strange that I should mention to BT that I used two machines on the same connection...they didnt seem best pleased....surely that couldnt be why its not working...BT couldn't have done something to stop it could they?
TIA
