I have a question about Share
an Internet Connection:
I have been having problems recently with ICS "breaking". We have a simple network
at home which works very well. However, the client machine occasionally "loses" it's
connection to the via the host. We have recently reformatted both machines with a
clean install of Win98SE to try to solve this problem, which on this occasion solved
nothing.
I recently fixed this last impasse by setting the IP's on both machines manually
(192.168.0.n) and pointing DNS on my machine (the client) to the host machine as
well as the DNS IP of my ISP. I also set the gateway to point to the host machine.
This all appears to be a convultuted way of getting ICS running as I don't recall
it being this hard to get on with when we first started using Win98SE. I'd like to
be able to find a resource (possibly URL) that will show me how ICS works which will
help me best troubleshoot it when it does "break".
TIA for any tips.
Phil
