Do you have a wireless router? If so, it can share a broadband (DSL,
cable) Internet connection with all of the computers, with no need for
setting up ICS.

Are you tapping into someone else's wireless signal that you want to
share with your other computers? If so, I advise not doing it.

Otherwise, please post a news group reply with a full description of
your Internet connection, router, and network setup. I'm sure that
someone will be able to tell you how to set everything up.
