A
mate of mine has NTL broadband, which he loves.
This
goes into a single PC (of PII spec), running Windows
ME.
He
also has a couple of laptops (his and hers from work) and an
iPaq.
The
question is "how does he share that internet
connection?"
As I
see it, there are two parts to the problem:
1:
Turning on some "connection sharing" software.
2:
Installing some network components
The
connection sharing would be easy, if this were a modem. However, I don't
know
what the NTL Broadband thingy looks like to windows. As far as my mate's
concerned, it's just a bit of install software that he ran. (He's too far
away
for me to pop over and look.)
I
guess the options are:
1a:
Run ICS (if it works with NTL Broadband - does anyone
know?)
1b:
Run some other gateway sofrware
The
"installing some network components" gives two options:
2a:
A PCI 802.11b connection for the PC, three 802.11b PCMCIA cards for the
lappies and the iPaq (and a jacket for the iPaq)
2b:
A wired ethernet card for the PC, a cross-over cable, and a WAP11... then
the
mobile things...
Comments? Suggestions?

Mark
