Netoworking Problem

Righto...Now I've just spend $400 getting both my computers fixed, and the last 2 hours setting up one and doing all the networking funk. I've hit a snag thought.

The internet is connected to my PC via USB (I'm running XP Home SP2) and I want it to share to the other PC (Running XP Pro). Both PCs can see each other over the network..but I can't seem to get the Pro machine to connect to the internet. It says it has an internet gateway connected through my Home machine, but IE keeps bringing up 'Cannont Display Page' errors and MSN doesn't work. Is there some little magical setting that I'm missing, or is it one of those random MS Networking things..?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Bernie.

Never mind...I seem to have changed something somewhere that makes it all work now..go figure.

I bet it was a firewall setting .
