Re: ICS in a server or domain environment

Chuck, thanks for the information. How should I go around then to setup my bluetooth pda with this computer in order to browse the intranet through my laptop?

I removed the laptop from the domain and add it to one of the still existant old workgroups. The ICS started working inmediatelly. The bad part is that I do not have enough persimision to add me back to the domain... Ohhh, well... Will have to get the local IT guys to fix it for me. Anyway, once they add me back to the domain I will be back to the original problem. How do I share the internet/intranet in a domain enviroment? 


Fernando,

Your question, as phrased, leaves much to be desired.  Strictly speaking, domain
membership should have nothing to do with sharing of Internet services.

Generally, in a domain environment, folks who own a domain have enough expertise
to setup both file sharing, and Internet service sharing, without using the
Network Setup Wizard, and enough sense to not need ICS.  ICS, and the NSW, were
therefore designed for use in peer-peer networks, or workgroups.

Using a computer, alternately, in both a domain and a workgroup, PLUS using the
computer as an ICS host AND a Bluetooth bridge, could be a lot of work.  Most
domains are complicated enough that all components are chosen with one purpose
in mind, and the owners stick to that one purpose.

If you truly want to use your company laptop as a Bluetooth bridge when you're
home, and on the domain at work, I recommend that you look at a network
configuration manager.  These are not free products, but in this case, the
expense may be justified by the functionality which you seem to require.
