sharing internet from windows xp laptop through ibook.

hey all,

I finally have my ibook in!! very nice and all....but my girlfriend has a windows xp laptop and we both need the internet a lot.
Our modem only accepts one ip or something so we can only go on the internet one at the time.

I don't have a router only a hub....but that still doesn't work (router would I know...but I really don't have any money at the moment).

Is it possible to put the ethernet cable from the modem in my ibook and connect the windows laptop through ip-over-firewire to the internet???

I just tried it and I have all the sharing on and the ip over firewire works and the ibook goes online without a problem....but the windows computer doesn't....and I don't really know much about windows networking if it comes to ip over firewire and stuff....

If anybody can help me I will worship you the rest of my life!!! =))

(Just like I worship the makers of IbookScreenEnhancer!!)

Tnx people!!!

laterz!
Skee-tone.
