I used to share my adsl connection with my xp and win98 computers using xp's
ICS.
Now I changed to cable modem that doesn't use PPPOE anymore and assigns me a
dynamic IP address (via DHCP). So, how do I share now my internet
connection?

Thanks.

I'm sure there are other ways, but a simple hub or router (the router
would be preferable, as it would probably include a firewall with it)
would do the trick.

You can still use ICS...

I do agree, however, with the other respondent that a broadband router makes a lot of sense if its
in your budget. I have used a Linksys BEFSR41, a Network Everywhere NR041 (you can find those at
Wal-Mart) and now a Buffalo WBR-G54 combination router and wireless access point...
