The cable modem was connected to my Windows 2000 Professional desktop system through a 10baseT (RJ-45) Ethernet card. This computer was also connected to our second computer running Win98SE, located in my Daughters room. This connection was a 10base2 (RG-58 coax) network with 10base2 Ethernet cards in each computer. The Win2k system was setup for Internet sharing (ICS) and routed the 2nd computers IP traffic from the network over to the cable modem. Life was good. High-speed broad-band access at home. No more complaints about busy phone lines. Lightning fast downloads. Dad! the Internet's not working Everything worked fine until I got the urge to frag a few Bots in Unreal Tornie or race a Porsche 911 in Need-for-Speed. Exit NT and boot-up SE. I've had little luck running my dual CPU SMP Win2k workstation as a gaming platform. Who wants to tie down a Win98 gaming system with IP routing duties. Internet sharing also required my workstation to be turned on for a good part of the day.
