Can someone explain how to set up ICS. My ICS server is a win 2k adv server machine (192.168.0.1) which is connected to the net by dialup modem. My second machine is win 2k pro (IP allocated by DHCP from adv server machine). My ISP allocates random IP's. Can't seem to get it to work.

ics computer act like a dhcp to the ics clients.check this steps to verify that you have configurd it o.k
1.enable ics thrue dailup connecction.
2. set up the client to obtain ip address outomaticly.
3.you may need to setup the default gateaway
on the clien to 192.168.0.1.

Thankyou, I realise now that I asked the wrong question. I researched further regarding your tip about DHCP only to find you can't have dhcp, dns, domain controllers, static IP's etc etc with ICS. It works fine once you obliterate your DC, dnsand dhcp. I obviously need to look more to NAT. Thanks again.

ICS won't work. You need to use the NAT - Network Address Translator that comes with Win2K Adv. Server. NAT will translate internal addresses to the external interface (the modem, in this case). Consult the Win2k Server resource kit for more info.

Hope this helps.

Thankyou, yes I obviously asked the wrong question. I will award points and re-ask the question. I have tried to use NAT and can't get it to work correctly. ICS works fine once you kill your domain controller, remove dns and dhcp, but I wouldlike it to be working with all that.
