i may have being wrong about using a system as a router, although that how you do it in *nix, presumably your referring to XP or vista BTW: as time goes by i remember less & less about XP, try searching wiki, as i don't feel comfortable advising about something i've not used, sorry[ot]i should have checked this thread before i PM'd you again[/ot]
I have searched on the net but cudnt find anything useful yet... They are says use that disk or so..... But i dont have a floppy drive I did this peer to peer when i was in ma skul but i dnt know y m failing to do it now.
