Pros: Only need one NIC in the server, easy to set up and run.
Cons: Data rate to the client is slower than with a hardware router, not much cheaper than an RT311.

I recently got a broadband connection and have been looking for a way to occasionally share it among the two computers in my home which were already networked via Ethernet. At first I tried an SMC Barricade hardware router (see my epinion

Great piece of software. I started using Sygate when it version 2 in 1998. I still use it today and have never experienced any problems with it.

I have a home network of 8 computers and shared printers with shared Internet access. I was...

Cons: You should plan ahead so you don't incur costs when upgrading

I've tried just about everything for sharing an internet connection, so I can safely say that SyGate is the best connection sharing software available.

I had three computers sharing an internet connection in less than three minutes. It was...

Pros: Easy to install, worked right away, and pretty cheap...
Cons: ... But not free.

OK, my pros and cons about the price might be a cop-out, but Microsoft does provide free software to do some of this in Win 98SE. When I first needed this software, I had Win 95, so ICS wasn't an option, anyway, so that actually eliminates my only con....

Pros: It does what its supposed to do very well and is still configurable
Cons: Not many I can think of, totally happy with the product

Pros: WORKS PERFECTLY!!!
Cons: kinda pricey

If you have a broadband connection and want to share a DSL/cable line in your network, you need this software!
I tried downloading some free proxy servers and they can't do what this thing can do. The free proxy servers couldn't connect to game...

Pros: Easy to use once everything is figured out.
Cons: Poor Customer Service

We got everything ready to go installed sygate, and it...
