When I try to connect my Win XP or my Win7 machines to my Vista machine (which uses dial-up/56k BTW) for internet access, the connection gets stuck at Identifying/Unidentified Network and I thus only have local access to the connected machines. This issue occurs whether I connect using wired or adhoc. My other computers can connect to each other (and thus the net as well) without any hassles whatsoever, in fact, Vista itself can inversly connect to my other PCs and access the internet without any issues. :x

I am going to assume that the problem lies with my Vista pc.

I've already run a ipconfig /all command for convienence. Can someone help me out?
