Hi,

I have a desktop PC that is connected directly to my DSL
modem via ethernet (no hub, switch, or router in between
the PC and the DSL modem). I'd like to use Windows XP's
Internet Connection Sharing to share this internet
connection with my laptop. I was hoping that rather than
having the DSL modem connected directly to my desktop, if
I connected it to an ethernet hub and also connected both
the desktop and the laptop to this same hub, I would able
to enable ICS on the desktop and it would work. I
haven't gotten to far yet, but I'm wondering if I will
need to add an addtional ethernet card to my desktop in
order to get this to work. Currently, it just has the
one ethernet port that is used for the DSL connection.
If I enable ICS, will this same ethernet port be able to
handle the connection from my laptop? Or do I need a
separate ethernet card to handle comms with the laptop
and then relying on ICS to route traffic from this new
ethernet card to the original ethernet port that is used
for the internet connection?

Thanks,
Paul
