Can anybody tell me if there is a way that I can share a modem in Win '95 or Win '98 First Edition. I need to allow access to the modem on a second computer running Win 3.11 WFW.

That would be no matey, do youself a favour and upgrade to as man's OS win98se and try this little lot THE SERVER (the one with the modem...) Machine with modem and win 98SE and modem sharing enabled: Machine name (on the id tab in network): AMD300 Then go into Network in the control panel and go to the configuration tab, and set these like so... TCP/IP(Home)->Network settings IP ADDRESS TAB: IP: 192.168.0.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 GATEWAY TAB 192.168.0.2 DNS CONFIGURATION TAB HOST: AMD300 DNS SERVER SEARCH ORDER: 192.168.0.2 TCP/IP(Shared)->Sharing device (what makes it work) IP ADDRESS TAB: IP: 192.168.0.2 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 GATEWAY TAB 192.168.0.2 DNS CONFIGURATION TAB HOST: AMD300 DNS SERVER SEARCH ORDER: 192.168.0.2 TCP/IP->Internet Connection Sharing Do not change this beasty. If you try and specify settings then when you connect to your ISP it can't assign you an IP, making this somwhat pointless!!! There will be loads of things in listed but they are not used. Do not change anything else. NEXT....... The client (the one without the modem.......) Again go to the Network applet, and make sure all you have is (just leave things like IPX off for now to keep things simple): Client for Microsoftnetwork TCP/IP Network adaptor. Again, go to TCP/IP setting and put this lot in: IP ADDRESS TAB: IP: 192.168.0.3 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 GATEWAY TAB 192.168.0.1 DNS CONFIGURATION TAB HOST: AMD300 DNS SERVER SEARCH ORDER: 192.168.0.1 Then restart both machine, and cross your fingers. And before anyone starts, i KNOW we don't support networks, it's just useful somtimes for our own uses...

either use a proxy server - several out there... or as 'Biglad' suggests get '98SE which includes ICS. For more details... visit: http://www.wown.com aka http://www.helmig.com and have good read; especially the modem sharing section... Good luck, LM-S
