I have a dial-up connection on a WinXPpro machine and am trying to share it
with a Win98 client. ICS is turned on in the Dial-up properties if XP. The
Win98 client TCP-network properties has Win config disabled, Gateway as the
XP address and a DNS server set to the XP address.

The client machine is running IE 6; is set to never dial a connection; under
LAN settings nothing is checked.

Any ideas what is wrong or where I can look to get the connection to work?

Thanks
