Good morning,

I've decided to setup a home network.  I currently have one (Win98) computer hooked up to the internet via the @Home, cable service.  And I just purchased a D-Link 704 router so that my second, Win95 computer can access the Internet, too.  But I'm getting what I believe is conflicting information.  On the one hand I've read that I need two NICs in the Win98 machine, one in the Win95 and a router, and in other places just a NIC in each PC with a router; I need MSs ICS setup on the Win98SE PC and in other places I've read no such thing.  So, needless to say, I'm confused.  Since I run DHCP on the Win98 PC (that has Internet access) it makes sense that I set up the router the same way as it would now be doing the interacting with my ISP (@Home).  And wouldn't I d
isable WINS, have my PCs obtain an IP address automatically (from the router) and have no gateway listed, on both machines?  All I want to do is have both machines be able to access the Internet and also share drives, files and printers.  So, what am I missing here?  Are there some recommended websites that can help?

Thanks.

Brian
