networking 4 computers

I am about to network 4 computers together and then have 2 computers be dialed up to the internet and have the other 2 share the connections of the two... i.e. 1-1 1-1 then have them all connected together. My question: How slow will the connections be b/c of using Dial-Up...and is there going to be a problem if 3 have XP and the other has win98?

THANKS

I don't think you can have 2 computers in the same network run Internet Connection and sharing at same time.

i connected my two computers through one connection and when both computers were loading different page's it was slloooowwww!!!

i suggest when doing what your thinking of disable all the crap that IE use's ;like sound's, pic's , checking for updates,
anything that you dont need, everything will help one way or another.

well with my network, i got my computers hooked upto an 8port switch,

its better to get a switch coz, if you got a 100mega bit per sec hub each computer will share that 100Mbps of bandwith

if you get a switch each computer will get 100Mbps of bandwith for them selve's.

oh and when sharing the internet, having one computer for email , and the other for browsing will speed the browsing side up. email is just email, it never use's much speed from the 56k.
