I have a small network at my office, 3 win 98 machines, one win 2000 Pro. The 2000 Pro machine has a modem, and when the ISP is dialed, shares the internet with all the other pc's on the network through the "internet connection sharing" feature in 2000 Pro. IP addresses are assigned dynamically by this same machine too as part of this feature. I want to enable remote access to allow users to call up and access all shared folders (each machine on the network is sharing a folder) on the network. Can someone give me a brief outline on how to do this? Once connected, will the remote user be able to see the other pc's when they click "network neighborhood"? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Probably not because they are not on a hub. If you want them to see each other. Get cheap Ethernet cards ($10) for each and a hub ($15-20) and some ethernet cables. Make sure netBios is activated and you will be able to see each other without disrupting your internet connection sharing
