I have 2 eMacs. One is 10.1 and the other is 10.2. Both of them have been on the internet in the past but I did not set it up.

I use an ethernet cable to share the internet between my laptop running windows 7 that has wireless with my desktop that runs XP and cannot have wireless. I was told I could run the internet basically the same way from my laptop to my eMac.

I set my laptop to internet sharing and connected it with my eMac.This is how I set up my eMac.

Location - Automatic

Source - Built-in Ethernet

Under the TCP/IP tab

Configure - Using DCHP

The IP Address, Subnet Mask and Routher info came up automatically when I connect the Ethernet cable.

I was told to hit apply now and that was all I had to do. I just had to go to my browser and bam! I could get on the net but everytime I try it says connot connect to server on one and on the other it says the same and then says no dial tone detected.

Help would be greatly appreciated!
