Internet Connection Sharing Win98 w/DSL

Questions.

How are your PCs networked?

What make and model switch or router are you using?

How does the PC with the DSL connection connect to the DSL modem?

If you are using a DSL router, and a switch on your network, you DO NOT need to install ICS.

You only need to install ICS if the PC with the DSL connection uses a USB connected modem, or has 2 network cards.

If you are using a DSL router, you should use the manufactures CD to set up the first PC, then setup the other PCs as additional connections.

You should also be able to manually set the network options on the clients to match the PC with the DSL connection.

We are using a Dlink and Realtek modem to connect to the network and the DSL modem. The DSL modem then connect to the phone line and network connection. We can get the network connection working and the internet connebut here is the problem as I see it. When I ipconfig the system it is showing 3 modems.
Bell Modem 64.228.146.14 Network 192.168.0.1 Internet 169.254.207.27 (This ip address is also showing up on the other machine with the last characters changed like 54 or 24. It looks like the ics is providing ip addresses for all the other machine and it does not match our network addresses.

2. Network Modem 192.168.0.1
3. Internet link 169.254.207.27

1. Just use a DSL router (about $100 and this is all you need if you by one with enough ports)and forget the windows Sharing.

2. If you must use windows sharing you need a 2nd LAN card in the host machine, and set the DNS to on, and set your network's IP range manualy to a class network rather than the defaults that crash into and steal addresses from the DSL.
