hi there all,

i have a dilema i have to look after my mums house for 4 weeks while she is away.
MY internet connection at home is cable and i am running a windows professional machine with a modem. What i want to do is dial in from mums machine with my spare modem at her house to use the INTERNET on her home machine it is windows ME.
I have tested it here at home and i have got this far my slave machine dials my windows profesional machine and i can see folders files ect and my windows professional machine can see my slave machine.
I am using a modem on each machine and straight windows dial up on both machines and it seems ok like this HOWEVER i am unable to ping out to any web address on the slave computer ect i can however ping my windows professional machine and visa
versa. My problem is can this be done like this or would my home machine need to be a windows 2000 server to accomplish this.
Any ideas at all would be greately appreciated as i only have this week to do it if at all possible.

regards
SPANKA

Does your home PC sit behind a router?

NO sorry my windows machine is not behind a router and i do not own pc anywhere. I was hopeing there may have been some sort of software i could use, or could i use the route table?
