nobody knows?

that should work ok but you will need to set up ics and the system that has the modem connection would need to be on all the time for the other systems to be able to connect at any time.

what is ics? becuase its not working...

[Joe4x4]

ok, ics= internet connection sharing right? in the connections folder the connection used to connect to the internet is shared... and its also firewalled, would that present a problem? if so how do i disable the firewall? i cannot right click and go to properties...

Yes, it's the XP firewall that's blocking your local networking. Turn it off on the local connections that connect the 2 machines, not the connection to the Internet.
