Win 95 "Gateway" to the Internet
My office uses Win95 for all workstations. We connect through a firewall to the Internet. I just bought a Win98 laptop, which I would like to connect, through my workstation, to the Internet while I am at work.
Can I do this with 2 NICs in the Win95 computer? There was a similar, earlier discussion on this topic where the "host" connected via cable modem.
My problem is a little different. My workstation connects through one NIC to a company LAN. What software/hardware configurations do I need to accomplish my objectives. CAN I accomplish my objectives?
Please note that upgrading to Win98 on the "host" is not an option. I don't get to make those decisions.

paulof,
Your solution (#3) worked great... except that I had trouble getting WinRoute to work properly (probably my own fault, but I got tired of messing with it), so I opted for WinGate, whic hworks wonderfully. Thanks for the assistance.
