Default Re: Desktop & Laptop networking help

I don't know about 98 having a connection sharing feature but here's what has to happen. The box with the modem has to be set up as a proxy server and then the other pc via the wireless network needs to be set up to use the proxy for internet access. Check out download.com for a utility to make this happen, there should be several freeware products available. It's been years since I did a proxy connection sharing a dial-up but they worked ok... You'll be able to surf (slowly) but only one can download at a time. With dsl and broadband being so inexpensive these days you must be in an area just out of the loop for DSL.
