Hi all,

I have a three machine LAN, all XP machines, all working well.  I want to
add a Windows 98 machine to the LAN, but I don't want the 98 machine to have
Internet access, just see the LAN.

How do I do this please?

Thanks,
Steve

Most routers can do this.  RTFM; the router's M, natch.

Thanks for the advice Bob.  I downloaded the manual for my router -
LinksysWRT54GS - All is now well.

Regards,
Steve

Downloaded the manual and set the restrictions
