Re: Problems with 'non-standard' ICS on XP machines.

G'day Robert, ICS, file sharing and pinging work between all machines
ONLY if I accept the wizard default of MSHOME as the workgroup and
don't bridge connections which have seemingly nothing to do with ICS
hosting.

a) I _want_ to use workgroup=WORKGROUP

There should be no reason why I can't use WORKGROUP, (input on all
machines of course), but if I use it, ICS stops, (and the WLAN ends up
with a name of DESK1.mshome.net contrary to what was input).

b) I _want_ to bridge a GBit adapter and IEEE1394 adapter.

Neither of those adapters are used for anything normally, (LAN meetings
only), and if I bridge them and give them an IP of 192.168.0.244 ICS
stops.

ICS hosting is done from DESK1 to a dialup ISP and to the other
machines via a USB WLAN adapter. The IEEE1394 and two GBit adapters
are not used for ICS in any way.

Thanks,
Dave
