I was wondering if it was possible to share that connection? I go to the Dial up connections under the start menu and the alta vista one isn't lit up. Anyone know how to share that connection? Thanks

I'm using it right now ... but I don't know the answer to your question .... but i'm wondering if you heard about 1stUp (the internet provider for Altavista among others) being close to bankruptcy? If this is true then our service might be gone pretty soon. So, i'd find another free internet service and get an account just in case something happens.

I think to share a connection you have to be networked, two nics and a crossover cable or hub, switch. Then you can use a connection sharing software. Win 98SE has one on the CD.
