Right now I am a very confused person, I hope someone can help me out. To you guys, this seems pretty simple, but I have hardly any networking knowledge so this will be harder.

I recently built a new computer (900 mhz, 40 gig, 256 megs) to go with my other computer (400 mhz, 18 gig, 128 megs). Both computers have the same network card (RealTek 8029 card) and both have Windows 98 First Edition. The 400 mhz computer is hooked up to a cable modem as well, so that computer has two network cards. I have been able to get a network going on these two computers but I have NOT been able to get internet sharing to work.

Many people have told me that I cannot have internet sharing because I have first edition, others say it is possible. Does anyone have a good tutorial on what I am doing or can give me some advice? Thanks...
