mr.mark, it ain't 'gonna be easy. Good that you're taking your time. Working to connect my 2 together again. Oh Well!!!!!!!. Regards, /jw ------------------------------ grc.com. (excerpts).11 pages w/pictures, probably print this out. ---------------------------------------- Win98 ICS: The Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) technology included in the Second Edition of Windows 98 provides "Network Address Translation" (NAT) services to hide the IP addresses of your local machines and creates good security all by itself. (As you may have already found.) Therefore, the following instructions are useful for users of Network Address Translating systems, since excess networking bindings are never a good thing but NAT makes unbinding somewhat less critical. ------------------------------ A Special Note for Network Gamers Many real-time local area network based games pre-date the Internet's IP protocol and have traditionally required the use of the IPX/SPX transport for inter-game communication. If you are currently using networked games over the IPX/SPX transport, or if you plan to in the future, you can — and probably should — substitute the IPX/SPX protocol for NetBEUI throughout this entire discussion. You will need IPX/SPX for your gaming and it can be seamlessly substituted for NetBEUI with little impact to your system's security. ------------------- Users who connect to the Internet through a Cable Modem or DSL connection will have a Network Adapter of some sort installed. This adapter should be bound to TCP/IP and NetBEUI and unbound from anything else (like the IPX/SPX transport protocol.) If the system also has a Dial-Up Adapter it can be unbound from the NetBEUI transport since the network interface card will serve as NetBEUI's anchor. ----------------------
