So you use "B" on a bridged connection on "A"?
You still need to give "A" a valid static IP address behind the modem, then you should be able to connect on that IP to computer "A" from "B". "B" must be on a different IP to "A".
Without knowing the IP of "A" how do you plan to connect?

If this is correct:
"Internet" --> "DSL Modem" --> "Computer A" --> "Computer B"
Then computer A must have 2 NIC's and Network sharing enabled. Also, computer A should have 2 IP addresses. The first is your internet IP and the second would be your network IP (default IP is 192.168.0.1).
So to contact computer A from computer B, you should use that network IP. Open up your browser and type in the following:
http://192.168.0.1/
, it should work.

you should specify how you got internet working on computer B, because it depends on that.

I have the same problem.
This is how it works for me: Computer A is connected to the internet while my computer B is connected through computer A to get internet. I can access HFS locally but when I put in our outside IP address I cannot connect.
So there must be an option to configure on computer A so when the external IP address is entered it can go through computer A and access HFS on my computer B.
I dont see this as simple giving both computers static addresses but I can try.

Just use internal IP address instead of external one.
That's the solution.

Well I need to use the external IP since I want to access the files over the internet.
So I set up both computers in the LAN to have static IPs but I still cannot access HFS outside of the LAN.
This is what I assume I need to do but I do not know how since there is no router involved:
Since Computer A connects directly to the internet and Computer B connects to the internet through A (and has the HFS server on it) I need to set up Computer A to forward a port to Computer B, so when people try to access it through the internet it will connect them to computer B.
Does anyone know how to port forward WITHOUT a router? Is there some kind of software to use?

if you are not using a proxy, then your computer A is acting as router.
a router can also be software.
winXP has a routing software in it, the one used by the "shared connection".
you should specify *how* you get internet on B.

Computer B gets internet through an ethernet cable to A. I have a static IP set up on it.
I don't know what else you want to know?

i didn't mean physically, but at a software level: proxy, bridge, nat, windows connection sharing, etc.

I tried that and still cannot get it to work. I am also trying to get VNC server to work(same problem, I can get it to work when i type in the internal IP and port).
I am typing in my internal IP of computer B where it says computer hosting the service, I am trying to use port 5801. I actually got the HFS self-test to work after doing this step but am still unable to connect using the external ip and port.
thanks

if the self-test works, then HFS is working over the internet.
use the external IP only over the internet.
with your LAN PCs you must use internal IP.
