Well I am doing that right now.

Just set up the win 98 machine on your network and setup
the lap top later on as the client.

ICS requires some mucking around deleting & reinstalling
etc but eventually everything is OK

Hi, I'm back.
Well, I was able to get my network running, but I have
my
xp as the ICS and the 98 as client. The thing is I would
like this visa-versa. I have read a few support articles
about networking with XP, and they say the XP computer
SHOULD not HAS TO be the ICS. So it should be possible
to
have my 98 as the ICS right?
Reason: My 98 (which is SE) is a desktop, and my XP is a
laptop. I would like to be able to take my laptop with
me
when I want, that's the reason why I bought it, but at
the
moment, if someone wants to get on the internet, my
laptop
has to be connected to the LAN. Can I just disable ICS
host on my XP and enable it on the 98SE, fill in the
internet connection details and then reboot and it'll
work? I just dont want to try it unless I know that it's
possible cause I had hassles getting a network running
in
the first place and I don't want to play around with it.
Thanks in advance,
Sam.
