Comment: I have Road Runner DSL service on a WindowsMe computer in my home and want to share that internet service with another computer in my home running Windows 98. I have a LINKSYS 5-Port Workgroup Hub, but I do not see how it could work since there are no RJ45 connections on the back of the Cable Modem, a Toshiba PCX1000. I need simple step-by-step directions as I have never done anything like this before. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jackie

Reply: (edit)how does your cable modem connect to your pc, USB? either way just connect both computers to a hub, and off of your "powerhouse" computer download and install a proxy server...carefull when you select because some are hard to configure while others don't support all protocols. Easiest one I've used was proxy+ though I couldn't use the email forwarding feature...

Reply: (edit)I have just completed a similar feat. Goto http://www.practicallynetworked.com - Sharing section & work through the instructions. I still had a problem on my Win98 PC. The solution was to re-set TCP/IP on this PC.
I set the gateway to the IP address of the host (Me) machine. Enabled DNS & Set the host name to my Me PC's network name (leaving domain blank) and added it's address to the search order.
(This info was contained in the middle of a very long Trouble shooting article in Microsoft's knowledge base) That got it working.
