We live in the bush and manage a heap of business, libraries, Tatts, etc this way. Because of the disposition of the boxes it is preferable to dial up from the eay to get to WinXT machine. We are on a local lan with the WinXT box the gateway to other Win98 and 2000 boxes as well as mine. Hitherto we dialled out via Injoy, but this is now inconvenient . So... how do I share the modem with WinXT. Do I have to soxify the TCPIP install in eCS or is there another way. I could not find any help in this matter on your site Ian.

Or is this Windows NT ?? You know with all these different version of microsoft OSes and applications it's no wonder people get the names muddled up ! You also need to clarify what you meant to type when you type: it is preferable to dial up from the eay to get to WinXT machine What should "eay" have been ?? INJOY ===== Runs under OS/2 or eCS. Supports OS/2, eCS, Windows, Apple, Linux etc. clients. Has built-in "internet connection sharing". I presume from what you said before, you have simply used one PC (with Injoy) to dialup to the internet. You should enable internet sharing (sorry can't remember what its called in Injoy, I haven't used it for a while) and "dial on demand" so that your ISP is only called when needed and the link is dropped once no-one needs it. If you have the non-registered version you can support 2 additional PCs along with your "gateway" or router PC (the one with Injoy and the modem). If you register the software it comes in 5 user, 10 user, 20 user versions. You should register Bjarn has written a good set of programs anf deserves support - you can find the local agent or register direct at http://www.fx.dk Now onto your LAN config. You have to assign manually an IP address to all of your PCs. So give the LAN card in the gateway PC an address 192.168.1.1 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 no default route, Your wifes PC 192.168.1.2 subnet 255.255.255.0 default router/gateway 192.168.1.1, your childs PC 192.168.1.3 subnet 255.255.255.0 default gateway 192.168.1.1 and so on .... Configure your ISP's DNS on all machines. Configure Injoy dialer to support IP masquading, dial-on-demand, set the timeout to say 5 minutes. If you don't have doco on how to do this, it's on http://www.fx.dk Restart all PCs and test access, all should be able to access the internet concurrently and after the last one disconnects, the phone line will drop 5 minutes later (feel free to adjust the disconnect delay, especially if you're calling STD, but you don't wan't it dropping too soon and then having to connect again as someone went away from their PC to the phone or for whatever other reason). In short if I understood correctly what you wanted to do, you actually already have the resources. It is also possible to set something up using Win98 or XP as the gateway but this is not a Windows list and such a solution might not support your eCS machine anyway. Cheers/2 Ed.
