Thanks first at you read my question and give me the answer. My name is Dominic. I'm from Malaysia - Johor.
I want to know about any software can use for share ADSL internet connection? Give me the example. I know we can use router to share internet, but in Malaysia, router is very expensive, not many users can buy it. So I want to know which program are suitable for share ADSL internet connection. Where can download it?

A number of "if" statements Dominic.

If your PCs are running Windows 98 or later.

If your ADSL connection is through a USB port.

Or, If a CAT 5 connection, you are willing to install 2 network cards in a single PC.

What you need to do, is enable Internet Connection Sharing on the computer that connects to the ADSL modem.
(This is a built in Windows component starting with Windows 98.)

Connect and network the other PCs through a switch or hub.

Then, install the client ICS component on each client PC.

Ideally, the ADSL connection will be made to the PC with the newest version of Windows.

Remember, the PC that is the ICS host MUST be on for the other PCs to be able to use the ADSL connection.
