One of the PCs needs to have Windows 98SE or newer installed. The modem must be in the PC with the newer operating system.

On the PC with the newest OS, and the modem,
go to control panel/add remove programs/windows components
Install Internetconnection sharing on ONLY the PC with the modem.

Enable file and printer sharing as needed, and you should be up and running.

There are several TechRepublic articles on Internet Connection Sharing.
When you search for them, use all lower case letters in the search text.

If BOTH of your machines are windows98 original or windows95 then you can use wingate (www.deerfield.com) or winproxy (www.winproxy.com). Alternatively, if you have buckage, you could use a router. SMC Barricade has a serial port on it for an external modem and 'dial on demand'. It also has a printer port to serve as a print server (similar to a jet direct box).

Another freeware I use is "proxy" by www.analogx.com Make sure you set your TCP/IP accordingly. Its simple, I have made it work on many networks. Good luck!
