You did not mention what operating systems are installed on the machine,which would determine if you can share internet connection

The Internet Connection Sharing (ICS),came with Windows 98 SE and later operating systems to share asingle internetconnection

bhar - You question is vague. I have two computers feeding to one monitor. Each share all Internet and Email. I use same address for each. Have 10/100 card in each computer that are fed by Linksys Router that is fed by Cable Modem. Each computer must have their 10/100 card MAC address known to the ISP, plus the MAC address of the Router. This can be done by contacting your ISP by phone and explaining your cable>Modem>Router>Two Computers hookup. This is common subject for ISP and must be done thru ISP Tech so the Tech can program in your MAC addresses into the ISP. We are talking approx 4 minutes of phone time.

Hello again. You have posted this question twice. Here is my answer again:

Some things to consider with the information you have provided:

1. Is the "client" PC connected to the "main" PC with two nic's (one for each PC) and a cross-over cable connection, or are you using a hub/switch with a standard Cat5 cable connection?

2. Win 98 uses Internet sharing and network access through TCP/IP protocols, make sure you have installed the TCP/IP protocols and that you have allowed file and print sharing.

3. Win 98 also has Internet Connection Sharing (ICS). ICS is a set of advanced home networking technologies that enable users to share a single connection to the Internet for simultaneous Internet access. Check that you have installed the ICS service and configure it for your network.

4. Here are a few URL sites that you can browse for more detailed information on the subject. Please remember that the URL's have no spaces between letters or words when copying to your browser please remove the spaces.

5. Also, consider the software that the "cable modem person" installed, and is it conflicting with the Wingate installation? Make sure Wingate is configured correctly. What software did the "cable modem person" install, was it drivers for the modem and a dial up connection? Check the configuration settings with that as well.

Enjoy,

Elvis Tie
