Hello, I have three computers and am trying to network them to share a PPPoE connection. My first computer is a Celeron(800)Windows XP (home) and it can connect and login fine. My second computer is a Hewlet Packard (500mhz) with a D-Link NIC and it can connect and login to the modem fine using WIN98SE. The third computer is a ULTRAtech (266mhz) with a NETGEAR NIC and it used to be able to connect but when i reinstalled WIN98SE it would not connect anymore. All Three are connected threw a hub. My Topology looks like this: |(INTERNET) +-Hub+ +-Celeron +-P2 +-P3 I've got them all networked to share files, so there cannot be any hardware conflicts. And i have tryed seveval brands of NIC's in the P2, but they all fail. Somebody told me there is a patch or something i need to install on my P2 so WIN98 can connect to a PPPoE. I already have a connection program, but it won't work, and its the same settings on my P2 and P3. Any help would be great! or even a push in the right dirrection.

hmmmm. the modem your using, is it a router connected to the hub or is it a usb device running through one of the machines. if its a router you should just need to install the software it came with on the client. if its a usb modem, connection sharing should be sufficient using the setup disk you make or manual settings(provided that all the machines can see each other) and i would hazard a guess that the modem is running though the p3. also be mindful of any firewalls you may be running thats about all i can thing of right now.

Can you connect to the internet with each machine separately?
