Windows 10: wired internet sharing from windows 10 to Windows XP not working properly.

Hi, I am trying to share my windows 10 PC's wireless card connection to WIFI over an ethernet cable to connect a windows XP computer which does not currently have wireless and get the Windows XP computer on the internet. I have followed the steps of enabling internet sharing on my wireless connection to the internet. The wired connection shows up on the Windows XP computer, but it says that there is limited or no connectivity. And the Windows XP repair connection function doesn't help. I noticed that both computers are sending packets over the ethernet cable, but neither is receiving them. And the XP computer does not have internet. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks:

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows XP to Windows 7 Connection Issue




You need to open the window above and click on Turn off password protected sharing

To get to this window, do the following:

• Click the Orb - the round, coloured thing on the bottom left *Wink
• Click Control Panel
• Click Network and Sharing Centre
• Click Advanced sharing settings at the top left of the window
• Scroll down to the bottom
• Under the Password protected sharing section, click Turn off password protected sharing
• Click Save changes

Now ensure that the folder you want shared has at least the Read file sharing permission assigned to it in the Sharing tab. Just as important, ensure the Read NTFS permission is explicitely set for the Everyone user and ensure that there aren't any Denied permissions blocking it, as they override the Allow permissions. Be aware, that the file sharing and NTFS permissions combine, such that the more restrictive permission takes precedence. Therefore, if you have the NTFS permission set to Full Control, but only Read in the sharing permission, then the connecting computer will only be able to read the folder.

In the end, you must ensure that the NTFS permissions for the folder that you're sharing has at least the Read and List / Read Data Effective Permission against it, or you won't see anything.

NTFS permissions can be quite complicated and confusing, especially with inherited permissions and the denied permissions, so feel free to ask. I've just been on a Windows XP course for work and it cleared up a lot of confusion for me over how they work. *Big Grin

Also, while troubleshooting this, switch off Norton completely, as settings on it may be blocking you in subtle ways you're not aware of. When you've got sharing working properly, then switch it back on and see if it still works.
