David,

Since your Host to client LAN uses ICS, you have to keep 192.168.0/24 on that
LAN. The LAN connecting your router to host has to be another subnet
altogether.

It would really be better for everybody if you would work on your problem,
instead of putting in a workaround (ie NetBEUI) and recommending it to
everybody. Alternate protocols like IPX/SPX and NetBEUI won't really help the
situation in the long run.

There is really no reason why a supported solution like NetBIOS Over TCP/IP
can't work in your case.

I haven't seen any previous posts from you in this forum. Or did you post long
ago, or maybe use a different nym?
