I'm trying to do low cost DSL sharing btwn 2 comp. One is Athlon (Win98SE) w/2 D-Link NICs and one is Celeron (WinME)w/1 D-Link NIC. I'm trying to share using Internet Connection Sharing in Windows. Each comp can be identified in the workgroup but will not recognize the other. The adapters are OK (and protocols, etc) but they comps won't talk. What am I doing wrong? Also, when do I use straight enet cable and when crossed? I'm using straight b/c the manual said so.

Use a regular cable between the DSL modem, and one NIC on the PC with 2 NIC's. Use a crossover cable between the two PC's.

Is this an in-store special only? I can't seem to find it in their website.
