ICS with Win 98 and Win2000

by mdeblois . Updated 23 years, 11 months ago

I have a client with an older Win98 machine (not Win 98se) with a DSL modem installed and working. He’s now purchased a new computer with Win2000 and wants to share the internet connection between the two machines. I’ll have no problem networkng thetwo machines but have a question about sharing that modem. As I understand it, 98 does not have ICS pre-installed but the 2000 does. Would it be smarter to upgrade the OS on the old machine to something that has ICS or would it be smarter to move the DSL modem to the Win2000 machine and install just the ICS client on the older computer? Or is there a third party software package that would work well on the 98 box, enabling me to leave the modem where it is and leave the operating system alone?
Thanks.
