Hi all,
I am a new user and am trying to set up my home network with ICS.
I have a LAN internet connection ip address100.90.80.80 with broadband
connection to access the internet account. Proxy is et to 166.166.55.1 on
the WEB explorer connections.
I would like to use one desktop as my gateway to my home LAN with two
adapter cards:
1) One card to the Internet LAN with the IP address 100.90.80.80
2) One card to the home LAN with IP address that I can change.. I chose
static IP address 192.168.0.1
I intend to connect 2 more desktops to this home LAN with static IP address
that I set to 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3.
I tried lot of setup configurations with no success.
Can anyone help me with a test case which I can use as an example.
I am desperate to make this home LAN with internet sharing to work.
Kind Regards
Kevin

Kevin,
You may have to change your specs just slightly, but I can't see why you
couldn't use ICS.
Here are a few websites with useful tutorials:

192.168.0.1 is the only host IP address that ICS supports. I've
written a web page that should help you get everything working:
Windows XP Internet Connection Sharing
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics
I recommend using dynamic IP addresses on the other computers. If you
use static IP addresses, make all of these settings:
IP Address: 192.168.0.x (1<x<255)
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
DNS Server = 192.168.0.1 or your ISP's DNS server
