afternoon chaps,

got a bit of a problem that I cant work out...

I have a P3 desktop running W98se and a Laptop running XP. They are networked together on a workgroup via a hub. All fine so far.

The Desktop uses a dial up connection to the Internet which I want the Laptop to share. However, for the life of me I cant work out how to do this!!

Any ideas how I can achieve this?

Thanks

You could use ICS (Internet Connection Sharing)
Look at the help on the 98SE box (seem to remember it had a reasonable description of how to).

 

have a look at here.

 

excellent - cheers Silent Monkey & Suba, will get to work on it later.

Found a fair bit on the MS site regarding ICS/98/XP so should have it up and running in no time

neil, be aware that if you got firewall, it *might* stop ICS working. you will need to configure the firewall to allow the connection.

 

yeah, cheers the bl00dy firewall software played havoc when trying to set the network up in the first place! ended up uninstalling it and starting from scratch!
