re: Question about 'How to Share Files through Windows XP's Internet Connection Firewall' Sunday, August 24, 2003 at 7:33 pm Posted by Dan Sarandrea, MCSE (4310 messages posted) Here's how I would being to unravel the mess: Travel to major electronics retailer and purchase Home Gateway/Router for around $50 (as low as $29.99 after rebate). Get one with Stateful Packet Inspection rather than just NAT. (Personally I like Netgear units, but that's just me.) Uninstall ICS on the XP box on which you were trying to get ICS going. Again on the problem box, freshen up the TCP/IP stack with the steps in this MS KB article: How to Reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) in Windows XP. Set up the router with the cable modem per enclosed instructions. If it takes you more than 5 minutes, you're doing something wrong. Plug 'em all into the router and badda-bing, you're done.

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.

Because for some of us we have more computers then we want to jam in an office. So instead of telling us to buy crap that won't help why not go fornicate yourself and stop wasting our time.
