i have two machines connected using a crossover cable, both running XP Pro.
i have one machine set up for ICS with an ip address of 192.168.0.1
when using internet explorer i set the other machine to use an automatic configuration script and enter the address of the other machine and it works just fine. what i want to know is what can i do with other programs that dont have the "automatic configuration script" option? case in point:
i want to update my AVG Antivirus on the machine that does not have a direct connection to the internet, well it does, but the other machines connection is much faster..anyway
the only options under proxy server settings for AVG are "server" and "port"
i entered the IP address of the other machine for the "server" and tried port 80, that didnt work, tried 8080, that didnt work, left it blank, that didnt work..what am i doing wrong?
