Internet Connection Sharing/Windows 98 Second Edition

Windows 98 Second Edition tour Connecting at home  Setting up a home network

Internet Connection Sharing makes it easy to set up and configure home networks, so more than one computer can share a single connection to the Internet.

With Internet Connection Sharing, you can:

• Have several computers online simultaneously, viewing different sites, without incurring the cost of additional phone lines.
• Create a home network on which other PC™s or computer devices that are connected to your home network can share the same Internet connection if they can utilize a DHCP server to assign them IP addresses.
• Easily connect other computers not running Windows 98 to do file and printer sharing and multi-player gaming because the DHCP server automates much of what used to be manual tasks during setup.
