I have two computers a Desktop running Windows 98 SE which
is my main connection to the internet and a new Laptop
running Windows XP Home Edition. How do I manage to set up
internet sharing - I want the desktop to remain as the
main interface to the internet. The XP computer doesnt
accept the '98 wizard??

You're doing it backwards. Use the XP wizard, then run the disk it makes on
the 98 machine.
I'm not sure if you can use the 98 box as the gateway in a mixed OS network,
it may have to be XP doing the ICS.
