Damn tricky one.

[Squeese19]

I got 2 machines, 3 network cards, 1 cable connection avaliable.
SO, I thought I could install 2 network cards on the forst machine, one internet and second crad network connecto to the second coputer (twisted cable connection). BUT, its damn hard to get working. Anyone been here? ANd done this.
Please give me a hint, I'm desperately looking for tips and hints.

ever heard of a spell checker or proof reading?

well i sounds like what you want it the 2 nics in one machine with internet connection on one nic and internal network on the other. what u need then is a crossover cable to the second machine's nic to the internal network nic of the first.

you didn't specify what os ur running on the internet sharing machine or what kinda sharing program ur using so i can't say anything about that.

hi

i am about to try that setup as soon as my 100ft cat5 cable and netgear nic arrive. from my reading, i will pop in the netgear in my dsl mechine which already have a nic and is connected to the dsl modem. setup the driver for th enic.
i will then connect all 3 pc to the switch i have. do little network config
in win98 such enable printer/file sharing, asign ip, then close my eye, cross my finger and hope it work..

if all 3 pc can see each other and able to transfer file, i will load up sygate to enable internet sharing. believe or not, i am sharing a 56k connection right now with aol as my isp.. hehe

hope it work, will be welcome any tip and hint if i miss anything
