Yes, the server computer must be running whenever either computer wants to connect to the internet. If it's not, the network cards don't work, and the tcp/ip protocols on thserver aren't enabled, thereby eliminating the Internet coneection. That's one of the big reasons that many people find an old 486 or early generation Pentium pc and set it up as the Internet server or Gateway/Router. The only way around this is as I suggested or to by an actual router and configure it to do the same job as your windows box. One of the nice features of using an old PC is that there are a large number of linux-based gateway/routers that can also be used to act as a firewall, thus protecting you from most types of hacks. You can also run a web-site on many of them. Lanman On Sunday 16 September 2001 02:19 pm, you wrote: > is it true that i have to have the server comp.
