HOW SHARE ROGERS CABLE INTERNET CONNECTI

This is the same question to the one previously posted - only slightly differently named... but...

Yes its possible. The "how" depends on what operating system you're using. Also you'll need another network card for the ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) machine and a hub to connect them all together.

The following link will take you to a site that will describe setting it up in detail...

(remove spaces in the above URL)

...but to add to that, I recently set up ICS using a Win98se machine and it would not work! Internet Connection Sharing for Win98 machines with multiple network cards is very dodgy and many many users report that it doesn't work for them. And they're right!

In the end I used a free tool downloadable from the web called RASPPPOE that makes your connection look like a superfast dial-up connection...

...which does work very well for ICS on Win98 machines. I've had no trouble with that method and happily recommend it toanyone who cant make ICS work on Win98.

Good luck,

If your cable modem is an external model that connects to your PC via a network connection, all you should need is a 5 port or larger hub / switch.
Most of the major networking companies have hubs bundled with hardware firewalls just for this purpose.

You just plug the modem and all 4 computers into the hub.
There are some network settings that you will need to set on all 4 computers.

I think what you are looking for is a broadband/DSL router. many conpanies make these (dlink,3Com,Linksys, etc.). They range in price from about $70.00 -$200.00. You can get a good one for under 100. They can have anumber of features that you coulduse including Built in firewall, DHCP, Port filtering(sort of a net-nanny) and remote monitoring. Look for some online line reviews for the features/price you want.

Windows 98 SE ICS is great for this. You need a hub, some CAT 5 cable and a computer running WIN98 SE with 2 network cards. A complete and simple guide at http://www.helmig.com/j_helmig/icsw98se.htm
I recommend you get a Linksys 10/100 Network in aBox plus another network card for your hardware.

Yes its possible but you need to have a Cable/DSL Router
like "SMC Barricade" with IP sharer

Linksys BESFR41
This is a 4 port ethernet hub, personal
gateway, nat translator firewall. It allows
243 computers to access the internet
over ethernet lan using one ip address.
It goes between your cable modem and
computers.

Oh yea it cost less than $80.00.
pricewatch.com search for Linksys, go to
page 7 or 8.

Good luck Lee
