I'm pretty much clueless when it comes to networking - the only thing I've done is set up a simple wireless network for a laptop that already had everything set up.
I just scrounged a P3 500MHz, and I've put it in my room. I want the main family computer, about 40 feet away, to share the DSL internet connection it has. I have a router, and the router is set up. But what about the new one? It has Windows 98, and the main comp. has XP. How would I go about setting up the 98 machine to receive internet access from the router? Do I need to make some sort of network connection setup or install a driver?
