Fw: Home Network

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxx>]

Try WinRoute. The free version should
do. It will NAT any network device (ie the NIC the cable modem is plugged
into)

Category:

A mate of mine has NTL broadband, which he loves.
 
This goes into a single PC (of PII spec), running Windows ME.
 
He also has a couple of laptops (his and hers from work) and an iPaq.
 
The question is "how does he share that internet connection?"
 
As I see it, there are two parts to the problem:
 
1: Turning on some "connection sharing" software.
2: Installing some network components
 
The connection sharing would be easy, if this were a modem. However, I don't know what the NTL Broadband thingy looks like to windows. As far as my mate's concerned, it's just a bit of install software that he ran. (He's too far away for me to pop over and look.)
 
I guess the options are:
 
1a: Run ICS (if it works with NTL Broadband - does anyone know?)
1b: Run some other gateway sofrware
 
The "installing some network components" gives two options:
 
2a: A PCI 802.11b connection for the PC, three 802.11b PCMCIA cards for the lappies and the iPaq (and a jacket for the iPaq)
2b: A wired ethernet card for the PC, a cross-over cable, and a WAP11... then the mobile things...
 
Comments? Suggestions?
 
Regards,
 
Mark
