All works fine but I like to use Zonealarm (free version) on the Win2K machine and it prevents the Win 98 PC from connecting while it is running. Does anyone know how to set Zonealarm to allow the other PC to access the internet, the documentation seems to indicate that it can be done but I'm blessed if I can figure it out.	Guest (0)

However i had the same set up as you once, and i found that i couldn't data sent from things like the modem or the satellite. all i could get was 325bytes. so i'd be interested to see if you can get zone alarm and ihug satellite going together.
