Here's what XP's Network Setup Wizard does when you use it to
configure a Windows 98 computer as an ICS client. You can do all but
#7 manually, without running the Wizard:

1. Prompt you to enter a computer name, computer description,
    and workgroup name

2. Install these network components if they're not already present:

   a. Client for Microsoft Networks
   b. TCP/IP
   c. File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks

3. Share any printers connected to the computer.

4. Create the "Shared Documents" folder if it doesn't exist.

5. Share the "Shared Documents" folder.

6. Configure the local area network connection to obtain an IP
      address automatically.

7. Install Universal Plug and Play software to allow the client to
    monitor and control the host's Internet connection.
