re: ICS set up but not working Friday, July 25, 2003 at 3:52 am Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Joakim Stai (5 messages posted) As far as I know, that's because your providers gave you a DSL modem with a built-in router, allowing you to direct access to the internet as if it was on your local area network (no dial-ups or raspppoe).. Anyway, I solved my problem by buying a router that supports PPPoE (3com OfficeConnect with built-in firewall) and got all of my computers online within 5-10 minutes - really easy! It also works as a hub for the local area network, so it doesn't use any more NIC's or wires than before - really recommended for those wanting to share DSL onto several computers ;) On Thursday, July 17, 2003 at 3:24 pm, Ryan wrote: >When I was using a DSL provider called Telocity who in turn got bought by DirectTV >who in turn dropped DSL service (thanks DirectTV!).
