| 50884 | 2002-05-26 09:51:00 | Ok so I set up a simple home network so that both computers can see each other and get ping replys and so for...pretty standard stuff. I go to install ICS and WHAM!!! no more network and now neither computer can connect to the internet. So I uninstall and re-configure everything so that theres a network again....go to reinstall ICS following the help guides and Using the Microsoft knowledge base....WHAM!!!! same problem as before.....Has anyone had any success with ICS or is there some sort of idiots guide to setting it up? I've tried other connection sharing programs like iShare but to no avail...all I want to do is connect two computers to the net at the same time......HHHHEEELLLPPPP TIA |

| 50887 | 2002-05-26 11:29:00 | With the exception of the both computers losing access to the internet I had a very similar problem when I setup my network at home. As 'tweak' has mentioned, you don't say what OS you're running, but perhaps this could help. I was at the time connecting a Windows 98 computer (main internet connecting machine via dial up) to a Windows 95 machine (internet via lan). I got to the stage where eventually the 95 machine could see everything on the 98 machine, but not vice versa. Similarly, the 95 machine couldn't view the internet but somehow the 98 machine could print via a networked printer connected to the 95 machine. It was very complicated. In the end I reformatted both machines (playing on the fact that at least one could copy to/download from the other machine for backup purposes). This worked for a while and then the same problem resulted. In the end, I upgraded to Windows XP and haven't looked back. Internet connection sharing works fine, printing fine and viewing across the network is fine. Your problem might be one of incompatible OS in that the two machines might have different settings or OS that don't read across, but the ICS programme (in Windows 98 anyway) can create a file which will set up ICS on the other machine. I guess more details are needed from yourside, but that's what I found my problem to be and in the end solved it with the more powerful networking abilities of XPs NT platform (or at least I think it's NT)...
