Howdy,

Setup a hosts file in the machine, Win9x consults it first before using the dns server(s) that get assigned when you use a dialup.

this dose not work. it acks like once you connect to dial up your on that network and not on yours any more.

this is a routing problem. When you use dial-up there is a route set to relay all communication through the dial-up -IP. If you just add a route to your machine for you local network, you will be able to use both.
