Hello, this my first post, so please be noobie friendly.
I currently have a immobile laptop (no backlight to moniter) running
Windows XP, with access to our home connection through a Linksys
Wireless adaptor (USB). I also have a Windows 98 desktop next to it. In
fact, they are hooked up with a KVM Switch. Anyway, I would like to
know if there was any way to share the connection (perhaps using some
kind of specialized cable or switch). I do have an extra network
adapter which is USB, thus making it incompatible with the Windows 98
system due to driver technicalities.
I am tech savvy, and I'll have help with an IT expert, its just he's at
work during the day. (My father). Help is appreciated.
Connect the two computers with wired Ethernet (which could also be used
for KVM-like functions; e.g., with VNC) using a crossover cable, and
enable Internet Connection Sharing on the XP box.
