Networking Problems

Hello
I have this xp machine, connected directly to the net, and i have a 2000 machine that I am able to ping, but not much else. I just want it to be able to access the internet. And I just can't work out how. I can ping from the 2000 box, the xp box, but not much else.

I've tried it without any firewalls etc...no help

any ideas?

you using a router or usb modem?

Usb

It goes :

Internet (phone line) -> ADSL USB Modem -> XP Machine -> Crossover cable -> 2000

On the other machine, set the Gateway, DNS and Wins Ips to 192.168.0.1.
