Network ok, but no internet.

Hi.
First time on this forum so please bear with me.

I have two pc's networked and all seems to be ok, but I cannot work out how to get the internet working on the client pc.
Both machines running XP.
Alcatel Speedtouch modem (Freeserve broadband).
Wired network.
Printer sharing works fine.

I must be missing something. Help needed.

Cheers Al.

Make sure TCP/IP is installed on the NIC is my first thought. It should be installed by default, but check and make sure it is, or you won't get anywhere online as that's a requirement to surf the web.

The next thing is to make sure you're setup to connect to the internet through a broadband connection and not a dial-up modem.

Wow, quick reply! Thanks Big B.

Right here goes.
Protocols are definitely installed.

I think your second point is maybe nearer the mark. I'm not sure about this because I expected the setup wizard to take care of all this. I could easily have wrong settings here as I can not find clear instructions on this part of it.
Could you elaborate or do you need more info.
Cheers
