Click to expand...

Configure XP as an ICS host as shown here:

Windows XP Internet Connection Sharing

Configure win98 as an ICS client as shown here:

ICS Client Setup [Windows 95/98/Me]
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/ics/icsclient.htm

Then run these tests:

1. On the host computer, right click the local area network 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 client computer, go to Start | Run | Winipcfg, select the
NIC, 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 the client
and enter these lines. Each one should get four replies:

ping 192.168.0.1
ping 216.239.39.100
ping www.google.com
