Get a router. They're cheap now, and it eliminates the need to fool with ICS. This tutorial is as good as any: http://www.homenethelp.com/ **************************************************************************** * Then I decided to install a network card in the computer to be able to use DSL on my laptop as well, using Internet Connection Sharing (laptop has XP home). Having installed the NIC together with the driver software (it asked for the Win98 CD as well, and installed God knows what), I was then no longer able to access the Internet. Zone Alarm Pro and AV program both gave multiple error messages, so I uninstalled them. Connection is no problem, either by ADSL or dial-up , but PPP connections will not work, and every attempt to access internet addresses bring up DNS errors. I uninstalled the Nic drivers, removed the network card, all to no avail. Still no connection to the internet. Checked all the settings against those in another computer which works, but still can't find what the problem is. I finally re-installed the OS (but of course all the old system settings were retained). Something happened when I installed the software for the network card which I can't seem to reverse.
In desperation I have now connected my ADSL modem to my laptop and abandoned the Win98 machine, at least for the Internet. but I really do need it. Can't think what other options I have, except to reformat the C: drive, which I really don't want to do. Please can anyone suggest a solution to the problem ... I am desperate!
