 I have dialup right now with only my XP Pro connecting
to the internet. I have 3 other PCs (2 Win2k's & a 98)
along with the XP that makes up a LAN that I have setup
by way of a 5-port switch (physical). I'm not doing ICS.
The XP is the only one that touches the web.

 In a couple of weeks I'll have DSL with the wireless
portal (as SBC calls it) that comes as part of their
package. Now I want to still have my PCs connected
internally as well as connect to the web. So once I get
my PCs setup to the web via the portal, what do I need to
do to set them up so that they'll still see each other as
they do now.

I ask because I don't know how it works where, you can
get machines to connect to the web AND an internal
network with the same NIC/ADAPTER while keeping them
totally seperate. How do I configure it so I have
169.254.x.x for my LAN and (with the same USB adapter)
get a public IP without screwing something up. Or does
it even work that way at all?? When you have dialup
it's simple, one modem - one NIC. This here is new
territory for me.

I have setup a number of DSL connections, but never had
to network PCs along with it.

Would somebody be so kind enuff to give me the knowledge
that I will need >>and/or a link<< to get this done
correctly?? I would definitely appreciate it. THANX N
ADVANCE.
