Even if you're using one NIC connecting the Win98SE gateway machine to the internet, and another connecting directly to the Mac (in the same machine), you need to assign IP addresses to the networked machines (i.e. the Win98 machine might be 192.168.1.1, and the Mac 192.168.1.2). The only way your Mac can get an IP automatically is if your Win98 machine is running a DHCP Server program to assign them; and even then the Win98 machine needs an IP.
Either way, using an inexpensive router is quite a bit easier to set up, much faster than having a relatively-slow, non-fully-deciated Win98 box in the middle. Plus, then you don't need to keep the gateway machine on all the time. -- Epicenter On 15 Dec 2002 at 19:53, Gregg Eshelman wrote: > > --- E McCann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > At 09:00 AM 12/15/2002, the pickle typed thusly: > > > > >The best way to get it to use the Internet > > connection your PC has is with a > > >router, unless it's dial-up, in which case you're > > probably best off with > > >Windoze ICS (assuming you have Win 98 SE or later). > > > > Note that according to MS's docs, you "must" be > > running 8.6 or later on the > > Mac.
