sharing internet connection with win98

Dark if you have a method that works, post exact instructions, there are a few people who could test your method in a lab environment and then report as to its efficacy.

That's fairly straightforward. The second computer needs to be configured to use a proxy server that would have to be installed and configured on the first computer.

This solution generally works OK although there may be problems due to the proxy such as Windows Update, and perhaps NAT issues with things like MSN Messenger etc.

Controlling the AOL session is a bit more complicated if you don't wanna keep going to the first computer to connect/disconnect.

I suppose the AOL software could be set to automatically connect to the internet and triggered when the network attempts to retrieve a webpage. Or using VNC software (more involved but much more convenient ultimately) to control AOL as if you were sitting in front of the first computer's monitor.

Just what proof do you need, NooNoo?

Now thats what im talking about...Thank you darkhorse,I'll give that a try !
