22715 2001-10-26 22:58:00 Can anyone recommend a simple to use (freeware) internet sharing program for my children.

Win98 to W2k(56k modem)

Try this page for a range of free proxy servers:

I use Proxy Plus, it sits quietly on the host computer and allows the networked PC to access the net, even initiate dial up if not already online. You can clear pop3 email and access msn plus netmeeting through it. Works a treat.

22718 2001-10-26 23:34:00 I just use the Internet Connection Sharing utility found in Win 98 and Win ME (and I presume Win 2000 as well) - Windows sets it up for you, so theres no fiddling with settings etc. which makes it really simple to use. Guest (0)
22719 2001-10-27 01:04:00 I use proxy plus. Great program. www.proxyplus.cz Guest (0)
22720 2001-10-27 01:05:00 Thanks Mike. Where is that?, I can't find it in Win98 anywhere Guest (0)
22721 2001-10-27 01:10:00 the draw back of a proxy type sharing is that you have to configure some programs to use it and you will find some programs won't work with it. eg ICQ.

try the stock windows one first. check out www.practicallynetworked.com

22722 2001-10-27 02:02:00 Haaaa!, Internet sharing starts from 98SE.
I've got plain old 98.
The W2k has the modem, both computers are tcp/ip networked, must have to use the proxy program.

Had internet gate when both computers were 98, will not work now with one computer W2k.

22724 2001-10-27 22:58:00 hi K O,

create the dialup connection in W2K. In the Properties for the connection hit the Sharing tab.
Follow your nose from here on in.
