XP supports Internet Connation Sharing. Go to Control Panel/Network
Connections and right-click on your Dialup Network icon (I assume that
you already have that working). Select properties and click on the
Sharing tab. Check the Share This Connection box and you should be fine
the next time you connect to the ISP. On the Win98 machine, you will
need to set the IP address to 192.168.0.2 with a gateway of 192.168.0.1
or select DHCP (get IP address automatically). That should do it. For
more details see my reply to Vernon.

Hi, I am new to this list so have been watching and reading alot. I am
about to network my old computer and new. Old is win 98 and new is win
xp. I was wondering if I need a router to network just two computers and
have them both online with DSL. Also I assume I will be able to transfer
files from old to new such as quicken etc. Thanks in advance. Sandy &
David Besecker
