re: Question about 'Getting Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) to work with PPPoE' Thursday, June 13, 2002 at 11:41 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Mike (1 messages posted) Here's the best answer you'll ever receive. Just do your self a favor and buy a router! This will solve all your problems and will allow you to share files as well as printers. Make sure you buy one that has atleast 4 ports for room to expand. There are so many more benifits you will receive with a router than a hub. For example, ie; the built in firewall. Good luck!!!!
