adsl usb AND 2 pcS WITH WIN98se
Hello all.
here are the facts:
I have:2 PCs with Win98SE,ADSL USB Alcatel ,2 linksys phonenet(2 Network PCI cards,and crossover cat5 cable.)I had it connected with my 56 internal modem on one PC and it was allworking(i think).
Anyway now i have the ADSL connection and i have the USB modem(or should i call it router?).I want to set it all up from scratch so please advise me for the following:
1.Can i set up the above and also have the firewall setup so that it protects both pcs?
2.Do i need to buy some hub or switch,or is it all possible with what i have?
3.What would be the best option to create the network i described?Should i go for something else?How much it would cost?
4.Please take into account that i am not very good with computers,and i have litlle tech knowhow.
5.I also tried to use ICS from windows but with no luck.propably something with the USB modem that is incompatible?If you have any advise on that ,is welcome.
6.VPNis it an option for me?I have only 2 PCs .
Please include in your answer as much detail as possible ,especially on how to set up the ip addresses and what protocols to use .I hope i make some sense .Anyway thanks for your time,best regards
