I'm looking for assistance with internet sharing on a LAN, i have a total of 10 PC's on the LAN, 2 have Windows XP and the rst have Windows 98, i have two modems (56K), one is connected to the Xp PC and the other to A Win 98 PC. I would like to use the one with Win98 for the main connection and let the other get the internet connection from it.
Please assist with how i should go about with the sharing.
Your assistance wil be greatly appriated.
Zack

On the win 98 machine, go to control panel, add/remove programs, windows set up, internet tools, details. click internet sharing and follow prompts. Windows help and troubleshooter will also help you get this sharing set up.

Damn I wish Microsoft had internet sharing, nevermind.

If you hook 10 pc's up to a standard dialup connection
nobody is going to get anything done.

This is the simple way to do it though. This way when
you get tired of waiting you can go broadband.

Buy a SMC7004ABR. Hook your external dial-up
modem to the rs-232 port and configure the SMC.

This is a router/gateway/dhcp server/firewall. It can be
used with cable and dsl modems. It has a print server
and of course a RS-232 port for a dial up 56k or isdn
modem.

Good Luck

Lee
