well, as for whether or not it worked in win98, i could never really tell you. biggest problem there would be does your machine work, not does your internet sharing work.
lol, winME was the same way.
now 2k and XP seem to have no problems sharing, and i'm glad to see that apple is finally including this as an option. (GUI that is)
now if my PC would just have a location manager, i could be happy on either platform.
[QB]this is great! But, now I use PPPoE, and at the most three people can be connected, will I be able to still use both? Or will the connection have to go through the other computer first?
Slightly OT, but do any of you have experience using X (Jaguar or otherwise) with dial-up that has voice mail installed on the same line? Is it still like OS 9 where if someone calls you while you're online, the connection gets dropped?
What about dialing out with messages present - can you use the ** trick to get the modem to ignore the funky dial-tone?

I have a PPPoE connection too. It works great.
<strong>I have a PPPoE connection too. It works great.</strong><hr></blockquote>I too have PPPoE and connection sharing works fine.

Since Windows 98 SE. Not 100% positive myself, but I'm pretty sure 95 and 98 didn't have it.</strong><hr></blockquote>
This is completely true. Windows 98 SE had basically no improvements except the connection sharing thing.
