    Have mani PC running Win XP Pro. Secondary laptop running
    Win 98 SE.
    Thinking about connecting both machines with a Broadband
    router. So laptop can access internet using ICS.

    Main reason for this is so both machines can acces MSN
    gaming zone. In particular to play Age of Empires.

    Can I do thisa soley with Broadband router?
    Do I have to make sure any specfic ports are open, and if
    so which ones?

    Thanks
