funds are really limited and directions too some good websites would be apprecited for instructions.

so far solutions have been router/gateway
network in a box
and something i think about having one computer with 2 nics and having winproxy or sygate.

Networking is my downfall so any help is appreciated

Which Windows version(s)? Same on both systems?

You can search MSKB for "Internet Connection Sharing".

thanks got the information already

You need no hubs or gateways etc.

You need win98SE on the computer that has the internet.

A 10mbps Network card in each machine.

A piece of CAT 5 cable (data comms cable)

Two RJ45 plugs to terminate the cable

terminate all wires crossing 1 to 3, and 2 to 6, the rest are straight.

or buy a cross over cable.

The rest of the settings can all be done in windows.

If you want help in them just say.

So all you basically need extra than what you already have is a length of CAT 5 cable.

You will need a router or 2nics in one pc and one in the other
You need a place to connect the DSL modem crossover cable

I am going to put 2 nics in one computer and 1 in the other with a regular rj45 from the modem into first computer then a crossover cable between the 2 computers then im going to use the software that came with win98.
