I have networked (or tried to at least) 3 PC's - 2 Desk Top's and 1 Laptop.
Am using one PC to share the broadband internet connection which seems to work, but slows all the PC's down dramatically when doing so. All the PC's are running XP (Pro x 2 and 1 uses Home).
Now while the internet connection is able to be shared (albeit it at a very slow rate), the other PC's are not recognizing one another or reflecting on each's network place. All have been configured with XP's Network Wizard and all belong to the same work group, yet I still cannot get them to see one another or share files and printers etc.
What am I doing wrong and what do I do to fix it? Is there any way of preventing the PC's from slowing down when sharing the Broadband?
