Its really easy.


First you have to share the broadband connection, to do that you have to go to the properties of My Networking Places, then go to the properties of the dial up which connects broadband, go to the Advance tab and click on share.


After sharing your LAN card address will autometically assign to 192.168.0.1, when ask for that click on yes.


Now go to the second PC.


Then properties of My networking places


then propoerties of Local area connection


double click on ';Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)';


asgine IP Address=192.168.0.2


Subnet Mask= 255.255.255.0


Gateway=192.168.0.1


DNS= 192.168.0.1

I'm amazed on all the questions posted here.


Here's my 2 cents in this matter:





Broadband is usually a term for Cable Internet, if that's what you have, then the easiest solution will be to get a router (Netgear are better than any other brand and I've tested them for over 9 years), now days any router includes wireless, firewall and switch services.


Connect the router's INTERNET/WAN port to the Cable Internet Modem's ETHERNET/LAN's port with an Ethernet (LAN) cable and connect both computers to the LAN ports of the router.





By default, your Internet should be available on both computers without any modification/configuration on the router or the computers.
you words are of a mix up but here is how you do this





this is what you need 1 router and if the other pcs are desktops wireless usb adapeter's


and this is how you set all that up


you conncet the ethernet cable to the back of the router on the port that is marked ethernet then you take the other end of the cable to the ethernet card on on the back of your pc you conncet it to the port marked ethernet





then you conncet the other cable to the back of the ruter port that is marked DSL then you take that cable to the fillter box conncet it to the port marked on the fillter marked DSL


then you conncet the filter cable box to your phoneline box


conncet the power cable to the router and put the power on


now you put in the cd driver that came with your router


and you install the network drivers


now you need to set up a network id %26amp; password on the router


you will be told how to do all that when you install the drivers %26amp; software for the router

when your router is online you conncet your phoncable to the filter marked


phone





now when your router is online





then you need to get in the router home page and click on the wireles lan icon


and you set up a network id for the laptop


and a security wpa key not a wep key dont use that one use wpa key

if you have a wireless router


and then ask them where you set up a wpa-security key dont use a 128bit wep key ask to use a wpa- security that is your router security key and you pick the wpa-security key not your (isp)server . just ask them where you set one up they will say use a wep-key ..ignore them you say your going to use a wpa.key and want to know how to set one up and remember you pick the wpa-key not your (isp)server or they will use your network

and clean out your internet address bar
good thing your using windows xp because i forgaot all about win98 ok heres what you will do, if the networking is not a problem (i mean file sharing and stuff) its easy to share the internet.


click on stat%26gt; control panel%26gt; netwrk connections%26gt;





then right click on your dsl connection%26gt; click roperties%26gt; and on the advance tab%26gt; check allow other users to connect to this computers internet connection.


that should do the trick.
If you want to surf at a single computer at a time, unplug the USB of XP and plug it to Win98 system....


If you want to surf both at a time get a proxy software downloaded in the XP and connect the 98 pc to XP with the help of LAN
