>I want to setup a TCP/IP network between my Windows 95 and Windows 98 machines, but I'm not sure what to do. My Windows 95 machine has an ISDN card that I use to connect to the Internet, and I want to sharee that connection with my Windows 98 machine.

Hi Chris,
You won't be able to do what you want using Win95 because 95 won't act as a router. You can have the same setup and use NT to route TCP/IP from an internal network to your external (ISDN) network. If your ISDN connection is a static IP address then it is very easy. If you get a dynamic IP address from your ISP then you have to install something like Proxy server to route. If this is an option there is a great NT FAQ at www.ntfaq.com that answers this question and many more.
