how to set up a internet connection ?

[seidokan27]

ok, I just reformatted my computer and have my internet on that computer. my other computer is hooked into the ethernet card of my main computer. I am trying to get the internet up on my second computer. I have done the network setup wizard on both the host and the client. the host computer where the modem is hooked up ( cable) works fine but my second computer (client ) is not sensing a internet connection.
I had this setup before. and all I did was run the network setup wizard on both computers. for some reason I am having difficulties this time.

so you are using internet connection sharing
for the 2nd computer to work
you will have to specify an
ip address,
subnet mask
default gateway
check what are the values set in the NIC of the first computer and substitute these values in the tcp/ip setting on the 2nd
and start browsing.
