RE: Setting up ICS breaks Internet connection

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry




The problem is most likely with IP ranges, since ICS forces the use of a
specific IP range.

In any case I would suggest that this way of doing things is a Bad Idea. You
would be much better purchasing a DSL modem/router. They are now very
inexpensive and are almost fit-and-forget.

Internet Connection Sharing to connect another computer. When I run the
Network Setup Wizard to setup ICS, everything works OK until I reboot.
At that point, my Internet connection is gone and I get error 720. The
Internet connection survives a reboot if I don't setup ICS."

I have run netsh int ip c:\resetlog.txt and netsh winsock reset, but I
still have the original problem.

In addition, if I use a different computer, which has Win XP
[home/pro/service pack level 3] to connect to the Sagem modem, I can setup
ICS on that computer and have no problems after rebooting.

This is proving to be an irritatingly intractable problem.
