Re: ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). ?

OK, here goes:
I took the Cat5 from the WAN to the LAN. Better.
The Desktop PC will now net to it.
I have access from my Laptop to the router by typing in the address
192.168.0.1
to disable the DHCP. I put in the address 192.168.0.254
The laptop still won't route through the router. Says IP adress of the
laptop wrong. I tried to let it automatically find an IP. No go. I typed in
the TCP/IP properties, 192.168.0.254 for the IP. Now what is supposed to go
into the Sub MAsk and Default Gateway for address ?
