Two Networked Computers with a single ADSL connection.
Anyone have any links or ideas on how to do this? This is the configuration I tried with no luck:

Operating systems: Win 98 SE

THE ADSL CONNECTION: My primary computer is connected to an ADSL modem with a 3com ethernet card.

THE NETWORK CONNECTION: There is a second ethernet card (Netgear) in my primary computer which connects to a Netgear hub which connects to the single netgear ethernet card in my secondary computer.

I was able to get the network working with netbui protocol. I was also able to still get connected via ADSL on my primary computer while being connected to the network. Where I ran into a problem was when I installed Internet connection sharing (proxy software) from the windows 98 CD on my primary computer to get my secondary computer connected to the ADSL modem via the network. Couldn't get it to work. I couldn't even connect with DSL with my primary computer once the proxy software was installed. When I uninstalled the proxy software (internet connection sharing) I was able to connect with DSL via my primary computer again.
The upshot of this overly long explanation is I can't get connected to the internet on my secondary computer through the network.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Alex
