My office LAN connection is based on TCP/IP.
Using CLient/server connection (NT/Win98) and manually configure IP Address.
The problem is I would like to share my internet connection from client-1 to other clients.
Pls let me know what to do, if possible I don't want any 'not-free' software, just any software from Windows or any-third party software that is free...

Thank you

If you want to share the single internet connection between the clients on your LAN and as you are looking for some free s/w, check out this link "http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network/proxy.htm" (Remove any spaces from the URL). You can have this proxy up & running within 10 minutes and its absolutely free. supports http, https, pop3 and smtp services too. so this software, AnalogX Proxy, might suit your needs.

OR if you are comfortable with linux, then check out the wonderful free proxy software called Squid, at http://www.squid-cache.org.

Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) is part of W98 SE, 2000 and all later versions. It is a bit difficult to configure but does the job, as far as I read it is sufficient for your requirements.

More info about it on many places (not only MS itself), e.g. www.sohointer.net.

Hope thiz helpz,
