Net sharing

I have 2 windows 98 computers connected by a cross over
cable, I can share files and Printers. I have broadband on
one computer and want to share it to the other computer,
but dont know how to do it.

Can anyone tell me? or are there any web sites can I go to?

Many Thanks

If the one with the broadband is win98se you can use the built in
Internet Connection Sharing otherwise you will need some third party
software.

better suggestion... get yourself a router with a firewall(very cheap these
days)

plug your modem and two computers into the router and you're done (well, a
couple of small tweaks to your netwrok setup:> )

If you choose to go the router way, you will need to also pick up two (2) straight-through cables, the cross-over cable will not work in this setup. These will be used from the router to each of the PC's. The cable from the modem should be go to the router instead of the PC then.
