Internet Sharing In Win95

Post #3,132 by Temp31415 7/30/01 8:20:05 PM Reply	Internet Sharing In Win95 I'm Running A Peer to Peer Network Made Up Of Win95 And Win98 Computers. Short of Buying A Router Or Installing A Server OS on One Of The Computers, Can I Share An Internet Connection Over The Network (Either With 3rd Party Software Or Microsoft Add-In's) (I Realize I Could Do This If I Upgraded All The Computers To 98 But It Would Drastically Slow Down The Computers' Performance) Thx In Advance

If you need to share a dialup modem, software is much cheaper than an autodialing LAN Modem. Spartacom now markets iShare (formerly from Artisoft) which works quite well. List is $99, but it can be had cheaper. [link\|www.aaxnet.com\|AAx]

Just install it on a machine that has the dial-up modem and ISP account. If you have a Cable Modem or DSL, I'd reconmend the hardware router box. But if you only have a modem access, I'd reconmend the WinGate or some other software. Some Router Boxes will take an external modem, but the cost of the Router Box and External Modem will be more than the cost of WinGate.
