Network Neighborhood - Adding Service

You're best bet is a router. A 4 port costs approx $60 US.

Or a step up from DCC would be to put another NIC in the machine you wish to use
as the gateway and install ICS.
Control Panel Add/Remove Programs Windows setup tab.
Double click Internet tools and select ICS ( Internet Connection Sharing ).

Steve:

Thank you very very much. I had been searching for an answer to this
question for about 3 weeks. As a follow-up. On your website you mention
that as an alternative to DCC it is possible to use Ethernet networking to
connect two computers and you reference two other websites for further
information to do this. I have an Ethernet card in both of my computers and
I spent quite a bit of time searching both sites but I am unable to find the
instructions for ethernet networking between two computers as an alternative
to DCC. I'd appreciate it if you could please help by pointing to where the
information is located on these sites. Again...Thanks very much for your
help. Zel

First thank you very much for trying to help out.

Although I am going to talk about DCC the issue is actually very much
simpler per below.
I am trying to use Direct-Cable-Connection (DCC) which I have
successfully
done before using other computers. I seem to be getting stuck at a very
simple point on my Gateway computer which is:
Right click on "Network Neighborhood" and then left click on "properties"
and then I left click on "Add" and highlight "Service" and then left
click
on "Add" to be able to Add "File and Print Sharing". However when I
click
on the last "Add" instead of a number of choices coming up and being able
to
choose "File and Print Sharing" nothing at all happens. I click on "Add"
and I don't get any choices. So....I can't choose to add the service
that I
need (File and Print Sharing) and can't proceed any further with setting
up
DCC. Both computers are running Win98
SE and this is not a problem with the other computer. Please don't tell
me
to reinstall Win98SE I feel that this is due to some registry setting or
some overall system setting. I really appreciate any help you help
you
can provide.
Take care...........Zel
