AnalogX proxy installs, runs and internet shares just as soon as you
set the use proxy server in your browser.

Windows internet sharing was very hit and miss for me, trying to get
win95, win98SE and win2000 boxes sharing one connection using
Windows Internet Sharing was a struggle to say the least. (I gave
up!)


The only other note of caution is if you're using Zonealarm, you
need to tell it about the IP addresses of machine on your network
before it will let them connect.

Security:Advanced tab: add machines to your local zone.

Good luck
