Hi gang -
I am about to have DSL installed in my home office. I currently have two Windows 98
and one 386 running DR-DOS on a network. The two Windows 98 machines have been able to
share a dial-up connection using Sygate software, but I have never been able to figure
out how to get the 386 to join in. I've had to simply dial out to use Arachne on it.
The DOS machine can see the two Windows 98 boxes, but the Windows 98 machines don't
have a clue that the 386 exists, something else I haven't found an answer for. The
Win98 machines are simply using their built-in networking while the DOS machine uses
Microsoft Networking for DOS.
My questions: Anyone have a clue how I can get the Windows machines to see the DOS
machine and how I can share the DSL line between the three?
Any suggestions are GREATLY appreciated.
Also, for those in the US and parts of Canada, we have just started distributing a
free internet service that does not require special software, nor does it require
banner ads taking up space on your screen (at least for now). The idea is that you set
their web site as the home page in your browser.
I'm curious to know if this service will work with Arachne, but haven't had a chance
to try it. If any of you are adventurous and want to give it a shot, go to
http://accessmasters.com/ffreeinternet.htm (frame page) or
http://accessmasters.com/freeinternet.htm (no frame) and try signing up. Please report
back to the list and let us know if you can even sign up using Arachne. It is possible
that sign-up might have to be done using another browser, but that the service will
work with Arachne. I'd appreciate hearing your experiences.
Thanks,
