Connecting laptop to cable-Internet on standalone through ..

If you are using Windows XP you can do this with either ICS or Bridge, both
part of the OS. Have a look in our Bluetooth Guides.

Depending on what type you use you'll need to assign IP address. ICS will
implement a mini DHCP server, but requires addresses in the 192.168.0.x
range. If this is already in use by your cable modem or router then you need
to use Bridge.

There's an ICS component on Win98SE, but not installed by default. You can
install it rom Add/Remove Programs, change to Windows Components. another
option is to use a program called NAT32 (www.nat32.com) to create the
routing and nat necessary. You can then have a look in our Bluetooth Guides.
Down the page there's a guide for sharing connections between computers.

While Maurico's Sites are EXCELLENT, in the case of a WIN98SE being the
"server or Main Machine" so to speak, you can also take a look at this site
http://www.practicallynetworked.com which specializes in every avenue of ICS
and has detailed instructions, and in this case may be better suited to help
you.
