I have two PC's one XP Pro with a ADSL Broadband
connection the other has win98. I want to share the
Broadband connection and have run the network connection
wizard which creates a disk, the disk loaded the
information onto the win98 PC, that PC now shows a
Internet Gateway icon on the toolbar which
states "unconfigured" I cannot find anyway to configure
it or get connected to the web.

Can anyone help?

Kind regards

Nik

1. Purchase one wireless internet router

2. Purchase a wireless adapter card for your Win 98 computer.

Click to expand...

Have you enabled Internet Connection Sharing on the XP Pro computer's
ADSL connection? Right click the ADSL connection, click Properties |
Advanced , and put check marks in both boxes under "Internet
Connection Sharing".

Then, reboot the win98 computer and run these tests to see if ICS is
working:

1. On the XP computer, right click the local area network connection
(not the ADSL connection) and click Status | Support | Details. It
should show:

IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: none
DNS Server = none

2. On the win98 computer, go to Start | Run | Winipcfg, select the
network card, and click More Info. It should show:

IP Address: 192.168.0.x (1<x<255)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server = 192.168.0.1

3. If #1 and #2 are right, open a command prompt window on win98 and
enter these lines. Each one should get four replies:

ping 192.168.0.1
ping 216.239.39.100
ping www.google.com
