sharing an internet connection

We have 3 PC's each running W98SE. They are connected on a network via a DSE ADSL Ethernet Router XH7916. We however at this point do not have an ADSL subscription. We do have a 56k dial up connection with TelstraClear via modem on 1 of the PC's (this PC is connected to the router via the USB port - the other 2 PC's are connected via NIC's).

The 3 PC's can network fine and share files and the printer, BUT how do you share the dial up connection. I have activated ICS on all machines, but the default settings seem to conflict with router default settings, especially around assigning IP addresses.

If the router isn't being used remove it. wown.com has a good howto using ICS. Or you could use a third party proxy-ssuch as winproxy, ppshare to share your internet connection
