Connection Sharing

[Gabrial]

I know there are some of you guys out there that must use 2 PCs to connect to the game with 2 accounts. What I need to know is whats some good free software I can use to share my internet connection with another PC? Im running Windows 98 (sadly not the version with it built in).

a switch ??? no special proggie . connect switch to router , connect comps to switch , rdy to go

I got D-Link router, easy set up, just plug in and play. But i installed the firewall witch was a bit tougher, to get all settings correct.

I dont really want to fork out for any hardware and im not currently using a hub or a router or anything like that. We are both connected with COAX using the old style BNC connection

upgrade to xp or win2k its got it built in. Or download the service packs for 98 and you might get the bit your missing bundled in them

I thought that there was some software called Wingate available that was free for 2 machines but I cant find a free download anywhere for it.

I dont really want to upgrade if I can avoid it and I dont think I can just get the service packs (im running plain 98 not 98SE or whatever it is).

I think I can find some software that will do the trick but will the second machine need some special setup for DAOC or do you think the connection will be transparent?

Take a look at AnalogX proxy server and see if it's what you're after.

You can find it here.

Heh - thanks Cadire. I downloaded that one last night after some more looking around the internet

Im guessing its transparent to DAOC and that there arent any settings I need to change on either installation...

hmm, I used Winroute lite before I got a D-Link router

Make the computer with the connection the server and then the other computer a client surely you can do that in Win 98 SE as I've done it be4 with 3 computers. Cable modem > Server>Hub>pc (if u only have 2 pcs then use the cable ur using atm)

I use IPCop (www.ipcop.org) on a £50 2nd-hand Compaq Deskpro pc. Its really good, and free.

Works with my BTOpenwound "stingray" Alcatel USB ADSL modem too.

I haven't tried it, and don't know if it will work, but I am looking to do the same thing (eg. I'm trying to buy a 500mhz-ish comp as cheap as possible for paperwork, running second accounts, etc.).
