Sharing home DSL and email connections

by jwpluto . Updated 25 years, 3 months ago

I have dilemma with two clients. When setting up a home DSL and email sharewith another Pc in the house I can’t get email to pass to the second user. Browser works, but not FTP or email. I’ve checked for ports turned off, can’t see anthing causing this. The host works fine with everything.

I’ve tried two different gateway s/w pkg’s with same results. Host PC is Win98SE and second PC is WinME. I’m using a Linksys broadband network bridge. The ISP (earthlink) has no share restrictions. SecondPC net config has Host PC IP as gateway. Already invested 25+ hours troubleshooting. Appreciate any help from someone who’s done this.
