He is running 98 and has program that lets him share the internet connection between two computers called WinRoute. I am running XP Pro (on both computers) and am wondering do I get WinRoute or can Windows automatically share the internet connection (using Ethernet cards for the network). If I do need to use WinRoute, how to I set it up? And If I do need to use XP, how is that done. Thanks all. James P.S: If it true that internet connections can not be shared over wirless conncetions?

Provided the machines on your network can communicate to eachother, there should be no problem sharing an internet connection via Wireless Connections. CyberChuck	cyberchuck (173)

Yes windows can share your Internet connection throw ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) (that is what we are using to share out jet start Internet connection, it does a good job :)), seen you have both computers networked that would be very easy. >If I do need to use XP, how is that done. I am not too sure how to set-up ICS under XP, some one else might be able to help you there :) Are you getting an internal or external modem??? Hope this helps	stu140103 (137)

Click the Advanced tab and then select "Allow other network users to connect through this computer's Internet connection check box" Also, Select "Establish a connection whenever a computer on my network attempts to access the Internet" And that should be it :D To Access the Internet From The Client Machine: Click Start > Control Panel > Network Connections Click the Network Connection Click on TCP/IP and then Click Properties In the Gateway tab, put the IP Address of your Host machine In the DNS Servers tabs put your ISP's DNS Servers. If you are with Xtra these are 202.27.184.3 and 202.27.184.5 On Both Machines: Open Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options Click the Connections Tab Select Never Dial A Connection Click on LAN Settings Remove all Ticks from in here Then that's it :D - a Jetstream Connection shared :) CyberChuck	cyberchuck (173)
