I have been asked to setup ICS on a home network and have run into an issue that I just cannot remember seeing before, perhaps my memory is a bit lax here.

When did Internet Connection Sharing become available? Win98SE or was it a part of Win98 original? The main computer that my client wants to share does not have ICS lised under Add/Remove programs. Will it become available with Windows Updates from Microsoft? Or will we have to upgrade to Win98SE?

Thanks

ICS was part of the promotion of 98SE. As I remember it is not an upgrade you can download. At that time we were installing after market products to share with. Go to TUCOWS there are a number of downloads there.

ICS was part of SE...and honestly, with recent news from microsoft about liscencing, I don't expact them to release something for that with 1st Ed.

Personally, I would suggest using Sygate for a sharing program for versions earlier then 2nd ed.
