Is it possible to connect two computers together for games and sharing of
internet connection if the host is running xp home and the second runs
w98se?

Thanks

Hi,

Yes, it is. Check the advanced tab of the internet connection's properties
for the option to enable ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). You can also
read up on the necessary details by searching on it under Help & Support
from the start menu in WinXP.

Sure. I have XP Home one one PC, Windows 98SE on a second one and again on
a laptop I have at home (all separately licensed, of course). There are
articles in the MS Knowledgebase detailing how to set up a home network.
