I just moved into my college dorm room. My room mate has his compter hooked to the network, but mine isn't yet. I put 2 cards in his compter. One hooks up to the internet, the other is hooked to my compter through a crossover cable, but i can't get my compter to get on the internet through his... I run ME and he runs 98se. If you need more info just let me know...please help

you need to install and setup internet connection sharing on his computer. The windows help has instructions on how to do it.

i use internet connection sharing at home. here's (http://www.annoyances.org/win98/features/ics.html) a link on how to do it. it's really simple, and works fine.

good luck!

Use Wingate (www.wingate.com) use the pro version, and configure a proxy server, then go to your network settings, and go to the TCP Ip protocol thats binded to your network adapter, then go to the gateway tab and put in the network ip of his machine, and it'll work beutifally:)

if use this way and want more detailed instructions then post it and ill type everything out in detail, but you sound like you know what your talkin about.

oh yeah, and make sure you configure your browser and msn im if you use it.

this way works in win 2k and win ME i don't know if it works with the win98se.9i think it will work)

Why don't you just get a network hub?

He doesnt need a hub because hes only working with two computers, plus he's in college.
