You will need to set up port forwarding on your Windows computer. If you port forward port 80 on the main computer to port 80 on the 2nd computer, all http requests will be transparently forwarded to the 2nd computer. A bit of Googling found a free app to help configure port forwarding with ICS on Win98: http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/ics/icsconfiguration.htm Let us know how you go. Regards, John...
