I have two computers here set up on a network. One is my sister's and one is mine. We are using dial-up and are always fighting over the line. So, since dsl is NOT an option right now, how do I make one of our computers the server to the other for internet connection? The isp we are using is Netzero, so I am planning on sticking my sister with the banner, and using my computer bannerless. hehe

Thanks for the help

Get the Internet Connection sharing that comes with Windows 98se. Worked pretty well for me until I got cable and a router.

If you read the stuff relating to ICS with 98SE it will work with any os on the other machine.

ICS is the easiest way to do it... especially on a win98se and up system. Just share the connection and point it to the NIC's IP that goes into your LAN... at least thats how ICS works in win2k.. should be the same for 98/me though. After than, and a reboot of course, all queries to the net from a computer on the network would get sent to the server and then the IP would be masked... etc...
