I have this Mac (G3 beige desktop) and my son's PC both connected to ADSL
via a Netgear DG814 DSL Internet Gateway Router/Modem (about �120 from
Dabs).
We have an Imac and window98 machine sharing a blueyonder connection. The iMac goes to a 10base t hub and then hub connects to the inside network card of the pc. The pc also has an outside card that connects to the cable modem.
On win98se you can enable internet connection sharing which routes out to the hub via ICS which is a DHCP server.
All you need is 2 network cards ( we got 2 isa cards off ebay for a couple of quid), 2 bits of cat5 network cable and a hub (also ebay �20). We have zone alarm on the pc which does the macs firewall.
You have to have the pc on if the mac wants to go online but this win way is as cheap as chips. You can do it with PCI powermacs as well running ipnetrouter (or something similarly titled) which dhcp servers for the network.
At work we have multiple macs routed though a FreeBSD firewall - this can also be a cheap way to do it depending on how keen you are..
