You can check your e-mail and your kids can play an online game using the same, high-speed Internet connection--at the same time. In addition to Windows 98's existing support for file and printer sharing, Windows 98 Second Edition introduces a new feature:  Internet Connection Sharing.  Internet Connection Sharing allows a family with more than one PC to share one modem and Internet/ISP connection between their networked PCs using Internet Connection Sharing's network address translation and Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).  

With Internet Connection Sharing, you can:

• Get the most from your highspeed connection--including 56K, ADSL, and cable modems--by sharing it among all of your PCs.
• Simultaneously access different Web sites on multiple computers without incurring any additional phone line or Internet Service Provider expenses.
• Save money.  Once you buy the home network hardware you need to set up your network, you don't need to pay for additional phone lines or ISP accounts.
