Internet connection share XP and Windows 98

I am working on a netwok for a small local business. They
have 3 computers running Windows XP and 2 computers
running Windows 98. The network is established thru a
Linksys hub. On all computers through Network
Neighborohood you can access shared files and every thing
is fine. However I can not establish internet connection
sharing. The host computer is running Windows XP and the
other machines running XP can see the shared connection in
the network connection window but they cannot share the
connection.

When you open the Internet Explorer it will not share the
connection. Because of the two different operating
systems the IP addresses have been set. The internet host
computers IP address is 192.168.0.1 aith a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0. All other computers IP addresses are set
manually to 192.168.0.x with submask of 255.255.255.0
where x is acending (2,3,4, etc.).

Can anyone lend any suggestion as to why I can not share
the internet connection.

Please reply to javinzant@hotmail.com. Thanks

on the xp computers have you tried going into my network
places and running the network setup wizard? many times
this helps windows establish the settings it needs to run
the internet connection settings throught the network.
good luck,
steve

i had the same problem. we were running 2 with XP and one
with ME. The ME computer could not see the XP's and was
constantly being dropped off the internet, but not the
XP's. Unfortunately, networking XP's with other OS's is a
nightmare. We eventually upgraded the ME and now have no
problems. This is probably not the answer you wanted, but
is a possible solution. The upgrade is about $100.
Good Luck!!!

Never send a hub to do a router's job.
