Re: ICS

I second that advice, and I myself use BEFSR41 (4 port) to share the internet. For my other USB DSL connection (having as a backup), I use AnalogX Proxy rather than using ICS.

Forget entirely the idea of using ICS !

Get a Cable/DSL Router such as the Linksys BEFSR41 (4 port) or a Linksys BEFSR81 (8 port)
and it will make the DSL connection and if you are using PPPoE then you won't need any PPPoE
or ISP provided software on the WinXP platform. The Router will allow up to 253 computers
to share the one ISP provided WAN address. It will also free up resources on the WinXP and
the WinXP PC won't have to work as hard because it is not provided Routing services to the
other computers. In addition, the other computers are don't need to have the WinXP PC up
and running, just the Cable/DSL Router.

There are other benefits as well such as a DHCP server to automatically assigned LAN IP
addresses to all the computers. In addition the Router employs Network Address Translation
which will provide a Simplistic level of FireWall protection on the LAN. To maximize the
protection of your LAN you can specifically block both TCP and UDP ports 135 ~ 139 and 445
on the Router, which is highly suggested.

Using a Cable/DSL Router as I have suggested will enhance your security, ease the use of
shared Internet and will mitigate your present problems.
