To further expound upon the last reply:
Have the Windows XP box hooked up to your cable modem.
Open NETWORK CONNECTIONS from the CONTROL PANEL.
On the Left, click on "Setup a Home or Small Office Network"
The first choice is what you want, that this machine connects to the internet and other machines on the network get the internet from this machine.
Follow the directions to pick the ethernet card (whether PCI/ISA or USB) that is hooked to Cable modem Service as the one supplying the internet.
Then pick the other ethernet card as the one for the network.
Make the network setup disk if you want, although Windows 98 won't need it, but hey, let's be safe.
Reboot if it tells you. Once XP is booted, go to the Windows 98 machine
From your desktop, right-click on the NETWORK NEIGHBORHOOD icon and left-click on properties.
Double Click on TCP/IP that is pointing to (--->) your ethernet card.
On the IP Address tab, select "Obtain an IP address automatically"
Click OK, Click OK, reboot.
When 98 reboots it should use DHCP to pull an IP address from Windows XP
Your XP machine IP will be 192.168.0.1 and your 98 machine IP will be 192.168.0.x where x is another number from 0 to 255.
Your internet and filesharing should be setup.
Hope this helps.
