Help me get online.

My setup:

This PC - not good enough for N2K2 but online via 64K ISDN.

Work PC - acceptable for N2K2, no online capability (tried intalling the
ISDN card in it but had massive headaches).

These PC talk to each other via a LAN.  Surely there must be a way of
connecting to the net with this PC and running N2K2 online thru the LAN.
Get what I mean?

Any pointers well appreciated.  Also, I'd like to throw a towel on the
number 69 for RASCAR for when (if?) I manage to get online...

Cheers,

Should work fine if you enable internet connection sharing (ICS) on the home PC
and connect via the work one.

What OS are you using?

Using Win98SE.  Can't seem to get it working yet having followed the
help files for ICS.  Hmmm.  Probably down to the same problem I had
when I installed the ISDN card into the work PC - I could connect to
my ISP but nothing else.  Couldn't access any websites at all.  Maybe
with it being supplied by my employer, there's some deep down
restriction been built in that the windows troubleshooters don't
cover...

I'll keep digging for a while.
