"2) It might be that the normal W2K version does not have internet
sharing. (server version has it) If it does not have it you will need an
application like winroute or something (wich will work as internet
connection share util)"   W2K PRO has IIS !

It is correct for 2 PC's you don't need a HUB at all just 
PC 1 w2k installed with IIS enabled and 2 NIC's installed one go to DSL
modem and other one to PC 2
PC 2 one NIC installed connected to PC 1

YOU NEED CROSSOVER cable to do this !

If you plan to use a Hub in order to add PC's in the future then it's
still same setup but instead one NIC going to other PC it goes to HUB
and then you don't use CROSSOVER cables.

Hope this helps

I think what you do is that you link the dsl modem to the hub and then
through the hub to both computer ?

That is not the way it will work.

You need to connect one of those computers (preferable the W2K) straight
to your dsl modem (wich goes to the internet)

then you need a second network card wich will funtion to connect your
W2K computer to your local network (in this case only being the W98
machine so you do not need the hub)

Then if you install internet connection sharing on your W2K machine and
tell the W2K machine wich network card is the internet and wich one is
the local network it probably will work without any further problems.

Problems you then will encounter:

1) The W2K machine needs to be turned on when you want to
acces the internet
2) It might be that the normal W2K version does not have internet
sharing. (server version has it) If it does not have it you will need an
aplication like winroute or something (wich will work as internet
connection share util)


Hope i think the right way and this is where your problem is. If not,
sorry for the long post :-)
