Is it possible to connect 2 win98 comps with network cards so 2 different MIR accounts can be logged on via the same modem?
Will the lag be twice as bad?
If it's possible and practical how is it setup?Thanks for any advice. |

Just download and install Wingate, newest version. Folow instructions
and instalation should be fine. Make shure 2 comps are connected over
LAN properly. Install Wingate on faster one with more memory.Well, i dont know about lag....u should try. Have fun  , i hope it works for you  Fear is the only thing keeping you aware of your reality.

Yer like Tanty says, ICS on Win 98 SE is easy 2 use.U add it onto the pc with the modem on it, it can be found by going to: Control Panel, Add/Remove Progs, Windows Setup, Communications. Tick the box and u is away
 It does work on 2 accounts at once, but yes the lag will be worse, prolly not twice as bad though.

Uhmmmm..Wingate works for me. Well.. as Tanty sad try with
WinSE98 ICS, it might work, but i remember i had problems with
that. It depends from comp to comp, try it all. Fear is the only thing keeping you aware of your reality.

Thanks for the input.i do have Win98 SE and will try it out. i only have 1 telephone line and both comps have a modem installed will this be a prob? I will get the network cards this weekend but is there a special cable i can get that will go from 1 comp to other without having to use a hub? Thanks again

Nope, but u must configure it to use only 1 modem as u can connect
with one one. quote:

Yes, its called crossover cable. Fear is the only thing keeping you aware of your reality.

The Cable is a Cat5e cross over cable.Belkin is one of the best make. I got two 10/100 MB network card. Dont go for
wireless cards, as they can transmit up to 300
feet, and anyone why a wireless card can
hack into your network. As for lag, there is no more lag when we play
solo, as when we play together. ZT Kr very
little lag. We have a 56K modem.
