Douglas, It can be done and is relatively easy to do.
Your designer will need to have both computers networked with normal Ethernet cards. Then work on the Internet Connection sharing utility that comes with Windows. Being W2000 more stable than 98, I'd recommend that the W2000 becomes the server. I would also recommend that the W98 machine is upgraded to W2000, it will make things a lot easier. I have three computers at the moment connected to the Net. One with WXP Pro, one with W2000 and another one with Windows ME. Haven't had any problems with them and the process has been easier as I upgraded Windows versions (when I upgraded to WXP Pro the process of setting up the network and connect the computers to the Internet was automatic and I almost didn't have to do anything to enable it) I hope this helps! Paco. -----Original Message----- To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PRODIG] Sharing a cable connection One of our designers is off on maternity leave tomorrow and is taking her PC with her so she can do the occassional job from home. She already has a PC at home that is connected to broadband NTL with a cable modem and wants to be able to share the connection. Does anyone have any experience of doing this? Is it highly technical or would it simply be easier for her to just keep manually swapping the cable over? Is additional hardware required? The machine she is taking home is on Win2K, her home machine is Win98. =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
