I've got two computers sharing a printer via a wireless network (OK, there is no "network", just this wireless connection between two computers and the printer)
Also, the two computers can talk to each other through this same wireless network. (I occasionaly move files between the two)
Only one computer has internet access right now, and I'd like to get internet access for the second computer by tapping into the internet access of the first.
While logged on to the internet (dial-up) on comp #1, I've run the Microsoft internet connection wizard several times on comp #2 in an effort to establish the link I'm looking for but this never works. I don't know what else to do except buy 50 feet of phone cord and plug comp #2 directly into the wall.
Anybody have any suggestions?

Windows XP on both?
Here's Microsoft's intstructions. You need to make sure you actually enable sharing on the PC with dial-up.

Running Windows 2000 on both machines.
Followed your lead and searched Microsoft for Win 2000 instructions and found what I was looking for. Looks like I was working from the wrong machine (#2 instead of #1).
