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.

If you are interested in commercial software, I have used Wingate with pretty good success in the past. I also recommend good firewall software, but I don't use Windows machines as an internet gateway anymore. I installed Linux on an old P233 machine and have set it up as a gateway / firewall for my company's LAN. It seems to be much more reliable.
