Network Problems

[vargonuk]

Hi

I wonder can anyone help with this problem..

 

2 Computers (XP PRO) Networked together via a crossover cable and XP's connection sharing wizard.

 

When i connect the HOST computer to the internet, the CLIENT computer connects aswell, Great.

 

The problem occures when i open IE on the CLIENT computer i am hit with this:

 

Forbidden...Access denied by access control list

 

Although the CLIENT is connected.

 

Thanks in advance

Does XP connection sharing incude a proxy perhaps? It's a shot in the dark, I don't use XP.

Hi Vargonuk, sorry I didn't reply to this when you first posted it, but I got busy and forgot about it.

You may need to clarify this a little because I may be confused about the meaning of your terms.

 

When you say "connected" or "connects" are you just talking about the physical cable that "connects" the computers? Or do you mean the "Internet" is connected and accessable on the computer?

 

The error message you mention is a message you get when trying to access a "resource" on a network and you do not have sufficient "rights" for what you want to do. Each computer on a network has an ACL (Access Control List) which defines who has what rights to the resources on their turf. So we jut need to figure out why you get that message and correct it .

 

I assume by the message that the "network connection" is working, one PC is talking to the other, you got a message from the other PC telling you you were a bad boy and can't do what you wanted to do.

 

As far as the internet being "connected" to both I cannot be sure with the little information supplied. How do you know its working on the client? what on the internet can you access if IE doesn't work?
