Just my $.02 ICS _is_ crap, but if you are using win9x as your 'router' you have little choice. ICS is a little tricky to get working correctly. I just set up a friend of mine last night. So I will breifly explain. In the 'add/remove programs' look in the 'windows setup'. Choose the IE tab and click details. Make sure you have ICS checked (first option iirc). If it is not checked, and you check in and hit apply/ok then after it bugs your for your c:\win98,c:\windows\system crap it should start the little 'wizard'. If it is already checked, cancel out and go the start=>run and type icssetup, the wizard will start. It allows you ta make a floppy, do this if you like or skip it (depending on your routing knowledge). Windows will kindly ask you to restart and reset your ip to 192.168.0.1/24. After the reboot, and with no zone-alarm or the like (unless you configured it to allow this traffic) you will be ready to share. Point the rest of your computers in the network to 192.168.0.1 as their gateway and an appropriate IP in that subnet (or use the stupid disc it made for you). This of course assume you are running linux boxen behind this connection, because otherwise this entire 'mini-howto' is flamably OT. hth -- Linux Administrator || Technology Specialist || Wifi Engineer http://autonomous.tv/~spencer/resume/ || spencer at autonomous.tv Key fingerprint = 173B 8760 E59F DBF8 6FD2 68F8 ABA2 AB08 49C7 4754 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
