Joaquim Posted March 7, 2021 Author Share Posted March 7, 2021 on win98, where i use the password? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Shouldn't need one. Before enabling ICS, get the network working. You will need a cross-over cable or two normal cables plus a hub or better. Win10 Help should have many articles and tutorials. Search on "ics". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaquim Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 ok... cross-over cable isn't these cable? i have one.. so i can connect between 2 computers.... but now what i need to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumper Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Did you actually connect? Please elaborate. Otherwise, follow the networking tutorial you found in Help until you can see either system from the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCyborg Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) I would disable internet connection sharing on the hotspot, then BRIDGE it with Ethernet adapter. Select both "Ethernet" and "Wi-Fi", right-click on one of them and click whatever is the equivalent of "Bridge Connections" in your language. Assuming it works and there aren't any physical connection issues, you might have to set IP settings manually on one of the machines. Windows 10 will complain about the IP conflict in Event Log while Windows 98 should give a warning right after logging in.
