Are you sure you followed the instructions to set
up ics correctly? With both network cards installed and the crossover cable
attached start both compters. Turn on the XP firewall and
uninstall any third party firewall from both computers before you start as
they can cause problems and need setting up seperately. I say uninstall as
even turning them off can leave componants running which can intefere with ICS.
On the computer which has the modem attached run the network set up wizard,
turning on file and printer sharing. Wait till its finished then run it on
the other computer. After its finished on the second computer go back to the
first computer and open the network connections folder. You should see your
network cad listerd and your modem. Left click the local area connection
under your network card heading and look in the left hand pane where it
says details. Have a look at your LAN IP number it should be
192.168.0.1 and the subnetmask 255.255.255.0 and it will say manually configured
this is normal. The second computer if you look will have a IP number selected
by DHCP and the subnet mask should be the same 255.255.255.0 as the first
computer.
I have used ICS succesfully and the only problems I
have had have been with third party firewalls even ones which are supposed to
work with ICS like zonealarm pro and sygate. If you follow what I have written
including uninstalling any firewalls (turn on XPs built in firewall) you
should get ICS working. Repost what resaults you get but please follow my
instructions. I have written them from memory but am sure it contains the
important details.
