cable modem

[nomad]

I have a small peer to peer network in my house right now, hooked up with a 5 port hub. I am thinking of going to cable modem, are all the computers in the house going to be able to use this same modem at the same time without buying router? I have heard of a program called winroute. Will this help me or is there other software that I can use to accomplish this

A router is probably the easiest method, but you can use a proxy program like you mentioned or just use the native one built into Win98/ME....think XP has it too.

Here is a good explanation of how to do this (with pictures!!) with all Windows versions. XP homepage here, check links at top for other versions.

What is the name of the native one built into win98? I never knew there was one

I didn't know there was one either . I think maybe Rockn is talking about the ICS capability?!
