    I have the following hardware setup intended for home based ICS but
    fail to work.
    To simplify the description of the configuration, I label these
    components as
    A, B, C, D, E and F.

                       A B C D
                  +----------+ +------+ +----------------+ +------+
                  |external | |Intel | |Windows 2000 Pro| |D-Link|
    Phone line----|LAN based |---|PCI |---|Host Machine |---|PCI
    |----+
                  |ADSL modem| |10/100| | | |10/100|
      |
                  +----------+ +------+ +----------------+ +------+
      |
                                                                          
      |
                  +----------+ +-------+
      |
                  |Windows ME| |CardBus|
      |
                  |Client |------|PCMCI
    |--------------------------------+
                  |Machine | |10/100 |
                  +----------+ +-------+
                       F E

    When I did a ipconfig /all, I got the following:

    Windows 2000 IP Configuration

                                                165.21.100.88

    The IP address (192.168.0.1) on BLOCK B is manually set. BLOCK D is
    the
    interface that is being shared. I've also tried to share either BLOCK
    B
    or BLOCK A instead but doing a ping the default gateway results in
    request timed out. So, I am assuming BLOCK D is the right interface to
    be
    shared for the time being. Somebody can correct me if I am wrong.

    When I did an ipconfig on my client machine (BLOCK F), I got the
    following:

    There is no problem at all when accessing internet on the host machine
    but
    fail to load any web page when operating on the client machine. What I
    need to know is:

    1) Out of the three interfaces displayed under Network and Dial-up
    Connections, which is the right interface on the host to be shared?

    2) what is the right procedure for verifying the connection between
    host and
    client? Would it suffice to do a ping on both machine? As mentioned, I
    can
    ping the default gateway on the client successfully but fail to load
    web page.

    3) Assumming 1) and 2) are ok, would it be reasonable to suspect the
    problem
    came from the host due of incompatibility problem of PPPoE? I am
    saying this
    because I can't get ping -f -l 1500 to work but lower MTU numbers.

    Having mentioned the above, all I want to do now is to isolate the
    problem so
    that I can proceed to sort it out the particular issue. Right now, I
    have no
    clue on what can I do next even though I've been playing with lots of
    different settings without success. Can somebody help please?
