I have used ICS but it was always "breaking" down. I tried the Proxy server method,
also with problems. I am now using a "Sharer" box that has always been reliable,
and dosen't require a host machine running, to allow it to work. If you would like
more info drop a line here on the forum. I also found that the connect speeds were
far better, but REMEMBER that each added same time user slows down the whole thing.
ie: 2 @56.6= 28.8 approx
3@ 56.6= 14.4 approx.
