Need to share my Win XP internet connection with my win 98 machine
Hi,
I got 2 networked machines at home. I can share resources back and forth among them, so this is working pretty well.
Now I wanted to give Internet access to my win 98 machine, but I can't seem to make this work.
Machine XP is 192.168.0.1 and the W98 is 192.168.0.2.
I've set the gateway to 192.168.0.1 on the W98
BTW, I'm using dial-up connection (still !) on my XP

thanks for the posting,
but I prefer to see some answers here instead of keep on reading articles, believe me I've read some.
besides I can't give the points to the article's writer... unless it's you, of course :)

well, thanks for the tip on the firewall, although it's not exactly what was happening, but it led me to a solution.
I have ZoneAlarm running and when I turned it off then the w98 started browsing (I feel dumb that I didn't tried that before), that works, but I don't feel secure using only XP's firewall.
Now I need to know how to get it to work with zonealarm, but I guess that'll be another question.
