Home Networking with XP and NT Workstation 4.0

[Sandy]

I have 2 laptops. The first one is a compaq running XP
Home Edition and the other is an IBM running NT
Workstation 4.0. Both are in the same room. Is it possible
to connect the two ? I want to use the internet through a
single Dial Up line for both the machines. Does the ICS
feature in XP support NT Workstation as a client ? Please
advise.
Thanks and Regards.
Sandy

Yes, you can do all of that. Configure NT Workstation to obtain an IP
address automatically, and the XP ICS host will make the assignment.
Set up NT Workstation to be a member of the MSHOME workgroup, not a
domain.
