what i am searching for is a step-by-step guideline to share my internet connection and my folders between my XP computer and my win98 computer

what i have:
- my internet connection is made with my XP machine (with a Alcatel ADSL USB modem). On that pc i have a network card.
- on my Win98 PC i have a PCM-CIA card.

what to do now???
i tried several things i found on the internet, but i can't let it work !

I need a step by step guideline.

anyone can help???
 
all what u need to do is to setup internet connection sharing in ur XP connection through ur DSL and then u will have to setup ur 98 LAN to DHCP then everything will work
 
First,we must built LAN between XP and 98.You can search LAN or Share ect.
Although I want to step by step guideline to you ,but I am sorry. Because My
English is not very well.

Yeah I know.... I must say: It has succeeded that way already long long time ago, BUT I want another way !!!....
(the reason for it is that my XP machine is a laptop, and when I follow the automatical wizard of XP for sharing my internet connection, then I don't know why but XP adds "Network Bridge" to my Network connections, and then a specific fan in my laptop (a compaq pressario 900) doesn't stop working and that always-working-fan annoys me terrible !!!! )

So what I need is another way to setup my internet sharing connection.... A manual way !!!....
 
if you have a switch and proper network why don't u get urselfe a LAN DSL modem as i guess u r using a normal USB one
 
to egysaint:
indeed i am using a usb adsl modem, but i don't have a network hub or anything else. I just have 2 laptops, one adsl usb modem and a crossed network cable.

to lorand:
thanks for this proxy server. I will try it out as soon as possible. thinks this will bring the solution.
 
if you manage to set yourself up with a proper network the solution will be very simple just change ur USB modem to a LAN modem then you are done
which i would rather to have better than a corss cable link, but i sure understand that sometimes there is no need for a complete network setup
 
You have had crossed cable ,you can config TCP/IP like this .certainly DNS you must change you local DNS.

both xp and 98,but IP must different .For instance,in xp is 192.168.0.251 ,win98 is 192.168.0.2.
and 98 must install TCP/IP by manual.
 
Now ,I explain how to use XP build LAN.
start--My network place---setup a home or a small office network ---next(as far as finsh) So,use xp built LAN is very easy.
About win98 ,Because My coumputer is not install 98 I didn't detail it,I am sorry.You can search it in the internet.
