Andrew,

OK, if you can't remember, we'll just have to work around that.

Please provide ipconfig information for each computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.

Please list each labeled socket on the back of the router, and what cable is
plugged in to each one.

To review, when you want to run ICS to share the internet service, and use a
router to connect the sharing clients, you have to:
1) Disable DHCP on the router.
2) Connect the ICS server, and all ICS clients, as peers to the LAN side of the
router.
3) Change the LAN address of the router from 192.168.0.1 to something like
192.168.0.99 (gotta keep it on 192.168.0/24 subnet).
4) Setup the LAN interface on the ICS server as 192.168.0.1 (automatic).
5) Setup any ICS clients to use DHCP for all settings (obtain IP address and
DNS servers automatically).
6) If you're going to do file sharing, either disable ICF on the ICS LAN
connection (not recommended for a wireless router), or open the following ports
in ICF for the LAN connection: TCP 139, 445; UDP 137, 138, 445.

Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
