Problem Installing Internet Connection Sharing

I have created a network between two computers each
running 98SE. Each computer can see the other and files
can be shared between computers. One computer has a modem.
I would like for the computer without the modem to be able
to surf the internet.

I have installed Internet Connection Sharing on the
computer with the modem. I believe that I need to install
Internet Connection Sharing on the PC without the modem as
well. However, when I try to do so, I cannot - the
computer indicates that my network configuration is not
complete and that I need to complete the installation of
the hardware.

As I mentioned earlier, the network has been established.
I think that the hardware has been installed. Is there a
way around this? I think that I am close to getting the
other PC on the internet, but how do I make it work if the
PC won't let me install Internet Connection Sharing?

I have made similar posts in the past related to this
issue and the answers were very helpful. I am hoping that
someone out there will have the answer to this dilemma.

Thanks in advance,

Anthony

You only install ICS on the computer connecting to the Internet, not on the
client computer. Set the client computer TCP/IP settings to obtain IP
Address automatically. Ensure that the client computer is receiving the
correct address, subnet mask, and gateway from the ICS computer. You should
then be all set.

Thanks for the reply. I wanted to get a some clarification
based on what was mentioned.

When I set up the network, I established IP addresses for
each machine - 10.1.100.1 and 10.1.100.2. This has allowed
for the two computers to see each other on their network.
Do I need to create another network session on the client
computer, or should I overwrite this established IP
address in the session created to establish the network?

Thanks in advance,
