O.K. now....

I should say what I have,

In network Neighborhood, both machines show computer Icons named Dad and Kids.

clicking on them opens a blank window.

also if I right click network Neighborhood, there is this map network drive.
you choose a drive letter from G: upwards and type in a path.

whatdoidonow?

There has to be someone out there who knows the routine...

It's either that or it's into the woodchipper

Hi ALL,
are there other steps to do before win98's internet connection sharing is enabled?

I think that from your machine, you may want to link to network printer.
is that safe to do?
does that open a vulnerability?

I think you at least need a shared directory on kids, say for scanned stuff.
hell, I dunno.
but I know I wanna do all of this on a later date.

aha, found good tutorial on internet connection sharing

MANY thanks to Jaak for that link to All aboard program he found for me, as FE does not have ICS and full install of IE5 did not give me that option either.

The kids machine can now access internet.

This setup is really cool.

I can transfer files to the kids machine from My hd with a blink of an eye, really fast.

Yet, they can't do jack getting into my machine, unless I let em.

I still have some tweaking to do, I'm having a bit of trouble getting the kids machine to dial up when modem is not connected.

but if I dial up with my machine, the kids can jump in and surf away.

Does not seem to slow down much either, gonna see about that now, I got a ton of Windows Update to do.

Thanks all, case closed, and good learning experience.

Hi Stev-rey,

I'm sure glad that you posted this thread! Because of it, it generated an interest in me that I had never tried before. Consequently, I've installed a second NIC in this "main" machine that I have a cable modem on. Then I popped a NIC into another "secondary" machine here, and just now finished installing ICS. it took a few minutes of "tweaking" to make it work, and it is really cool to have both machines using the cable modem! Heck, I'm as happy as a lizard on a hot rock! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/ Thanks again!

Happy computing! https://discussions.virtualdr.com/

Hi all,
when I searched for a solution to this, I came across all aboard! SE 2.2

all aboard is not freeware.
does anyone know of a freeware which does all aboard does?

Jaak

Jaak,

Amathis referred Proxy.exe from www.analogX.com and I think this does the same thing. except it must be configured manually as opposed to automatic install with all aboard.

I think.

I read through the readme in proxy.exe and it is kinda foriegn to me.

Really, setting up a network is simple when one figures out how it is done and have the resources to help you.

without those links that Jaak and others provided, it would have not been possible.

Ever tackle a problem with no idea how to go about it, and find when you are finally done, you feel like a dumb ass because you thought it was difficult.

Simple procedure, really...

I am using a linksys BEFSR41 router for cable access. Easy setup and no slowdowns. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
Now for the Home network settings. Maybe tomorrow. https://discussions.virtualdr.com/
