Interesting diagnostic tool...Everest. Glad I know about it. Found the
problem without it, though, based on your DHCP service comment. I am
not sure how I got where I got to, but somehow in my experiments on
the system that finally connected, I enabled the acquire address
automatically for my network. This was the key.
I apparently misinterpreted the comments about the router to hub
conversion to require me to make each PC have its own IP address. Only
the ICS server needs a fixed address...the others acquire their
addresses dynamically. Why don't the instructions just say that? It
may be idiosyncratic when the ICS is being implemented rather than
just a simple hub. I suppose I should have known, but it still
irks...but does not surprise me...that the instructions are never
actually reviewed with non-experts, like senior manager ;-).
I appreciate your time, efforts, and insights....I am one hell of a
lot smarter about network protocols etc now than before....
I have noticed that there seems to be some activity inside the
network...not noticeable to the internet...around the network. A bunch
of ack-nak keeping things updated...5 or so packets a second.
Consequently, the network is never quiescent entirely. Good old Zone
Alarm though shows nothing getting through from the Internet. Got to
love those trusted zones.
Thanks, again, for the help.
