| 84789 | 2002-09-30 10:56:00 | HELP my little sister has just discovered the internet :O X-( So what I'm thinking is that I need ICS (and a network cable ran). THe thing is that I don't want to have any particular computer on. Both computers have modems and access to the phone line. So is it possible to have it. So that when I go to use the internet and the other computer isn't using the internet. My computer will dial with it's own modem. But if the other computer is connected, my computer will gain access to the internet from it. and the other way around ofcourse. |

| 84791 | 2002-09-30 12:40:00 | I did a search for your earlier post so why don't you see if it would work? What you suggested sounds like a reasonable idea and what harm can you do? If it is possible to have different hardware configurations in each profile then you should be able to set up one profile with ICS and one without. An interesting little experiment for the greater good, etc, etc |

| 84792 | 2002-10-01 00:32:00 | I don't rally understand what you mean - There were no replies to the earlier question, and a different harware profile wouldn't work as the network config is not stored in the hardware profile - I don't see an easy solution unfortunately. G P |

| 84793 | 2002-10-01 01:48:00 | Depending on your OS, I know that in 2000 and XP it'd be easy to setup a user accouts, one with ICS and another without it.. I think that's what you're meaning.. :s | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 84794 | 2002-10-01 01:55:00 | Yes I believe this is possible but it may take some working out. A simple way of doing it is to run a program called proxy+. This is basically a internet sharing program. I don't have the website handy just at the moment. Google or another search engine should find it. You'd need to run this program on both computers for your setup. In the connection options of IE have it set too dial whenever there isn't a network connection available, and in the lan settings put in the IP address and port number of the other computer that proxy + has configured for you to access the internet. I think something like 4400. It is also changeable but default works best as it then is not conflicting with other open ports. Hope this helps. |

| 84798 | 2002-10-01 03:54:00 | I was kind of hoping that it would be simpler than creating a whole new user account, or using a proxy (I like the behind the scenes of ICS). I was hoping for the ability simply to create two network connections - surely this is possible, eg for laptop users who have both home and office networks to plug into etc. Then I could just activate the appropriate network each time. If this is not possible, then flag it - too much effort. It is one of those common sense requests that Windows should do. G P |
