Client For MS Networks
MY neighbor has asked me to set up his two machines to share the same cable
IP service. My three run through a router and a switch but he has neither. I think all I need is to configure Windows under Networking for "Client for Microsoft Networks" then select file sharing and TCP/IP. I don't think I really need a router nor switch. Can anyone confirm this please. |

Can anyone confirm this please. For Internet access, your neighbor's computers only need TCP/IP. If he wants them to share files and printers with each other, they also need Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Printer Sharing. I strongly recommend that you get your neighbor an inexpensive broadband router to share the cable service between his computers. It's easy to set up, reliable, and secure. Without a router, you'll need to use ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) to share the cable connection: 1. Configure one computer as an ICS host. That requires Windows 98 Second Edition. The original version of Windows 98 doesn't have ICS. a. Install two network cards in the host computer: one for the cable service, and one to connect to the other computer. b. Install a firewall program on the host computer to protect it from Internet hackers. Not all firewall programs are compatible with ICS. c. Enable ICS on the host's cable connection. 2. Configure the other computer as an ICS client. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
