I have a dsl line connected to a win98 machine through a hub. I want to set up an NT network, where 3 machines can access the dsl at once. I don't have a static ip, and swbell has restricted me to only 1 ip at a time, where before, they used to giveme 3. Now, only 1 machine at a time (my server or a workstation) can be on. What should I do?

Use Internet connection sharing on the Windows 98 machine (Win98SE)or else a 3rd party proxy server package on any of the NT workstations. If you're going to install an NT server, Microsoft Proxy 2.0 provides internet connection sharing.

I have heard about proxy server, but there is no mention of how to configure it, or if I need to add another nic to my server or not.
