Refreshing the IP stack helped in that I can now see the other computers on my home
network and I can share files with them. When I ran the net shell utility it refreshed
the IP stack but also returned the message : "could not obtain host information about
machine[my gateway], some commands may not be available". However I still can't
get the ICS to work. When I run the wizard It states it was unable to set up ICS.
It won't let me manually bridge the networks. When I run repair on the home network
it still tells me cannot return IP address.
The router solution seems attractive but my home network is a peer to peer LAN running
thin coax cable. I have not been able to find a router that will share a cable modem
with a PTP coax network. I don't want to go wireless as long as the old system works.
Thanks
