157657 2003-07-05 06:22:00 I'm planning for an upgrade to WinXP (no flames, please :-) )

Can anyone tell me if XP ICS supports more than one adapter on the host PC, i.e. the IHUG satellite setup? Win98SE does not and I currently use a product called All Aboard with great success. Unfortunately they seem to have disappeared from the face of the earth, so I'm also looking a product that will work with XP, if XP does not do it.

All suggestions welcome...

157658 2003-07-05 06:58:00 XP supports ICS. Although I hate to admit it, MS has done a reasonable job here. HAving said that I set up my home network manually and found that easier - only 4 machines to fiddle with. As far has Ihug goes, I managed that once with XP but after a crash it all turned to custard ! It is not supposed to work but it can be done. However, you will need a bit of knowledge and have to do it manually. It's all to do with the netork cards belonging to the same group, sharing the right gateway, etc. XP on its own cannot manage.
Bets of luck.
