OT: how do I ?

I have just successfully networked my 2 computers together
one is 98, one is 95
my 98 is connected via broadband to the internet
how do I get my 95 computer browsing the internet ?
what happens when I click explorer is it brings up the dialogue box
for dial-up connection, and so doesn't try going through the network

Thanks in advance for any help...

- enable Internet Connection Sharing on the Windows 98 PC
- configure the Windows 95 PC to pick up a dynamic IP address
- configure Internet Explorer on the Windows 95 machine not to dial for its
connection or only to dial when a network connection isn't present.

That should be it!

Thank You Rob

that sounds easier than what I have tried to do, downloaded a modem
sharer program, but it is windows 98 only and says a winsock 2 is
needed when I try and install the client on the 95
I am not sure about enabling Internet Connection sharing on the 98
so I will get back to you if I have difficulty
just going out for half an hour, so I will try your solution then
hope it works !!!
