Hi,

I also use the Bigpuddle ADSL connection and I spent a day and a half trying to make ICS work with a Win98 server and a Win2K server.

I suspect that if I'd been able to stop the Win2K server from BSODing the whole time... I might have got that to work, but Win98 was a big no-go.

That was a problem for me because I wanted my useless little P133 with 24Mb memory to be my ICS gateway machine (and nothing else) but with so little memory, it had to run Win98.

I ended up downloading and using a bit of software called RASPPPOE available from

That makes your ADSL connection look like a superfast dialup connection and that works just fine! Then its a matter of setting up a normal dial-up style connection share - which Microsoft got right in Win98... Its all well documented how you set it up on the site.

Note: I found that you need to have the Telstra supplied software installed for it to work.

Ialso found that Telstra support were helpful in their troubleshooting - even though they dont officially support ICS. One of them ended up suggesting RASPPPOE - he used it himself as he had the same problems.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
Tim.
