Whats up w/ XP?

[StealthII]

Hey guys,
Well, Im having a problem connecting my roommates computer. He's using XP and I am running 98. Right now we are connected to cable on my computer and I am running a hub using Sygate as the software. I have it running DHCP but my roommates computer can't still get on the Internet. He's got TCP/IP installed and its set as optain Ip automatically. And under the settings on the Lan in IE, its set as detect automatic settings. The 2 computers detect each other in Network Neighborhood but for some reason it's just letting him on the net. So I'm stumped. He recently had a computer w/ 95 that we had setup and it worked fine, so it's something w/ XP. thanks for the help.

Just check the simple things. Make sure that in the properties of your cable modem network card you check the box that says allow other network users to connect through this computers internet connection.

You may have checked that on the LAN netowrk card, but that is the wrong one.
