I am trying to get a small peer-to- peer network set up for file sharing. I
can get everything working with the ipx/spx protocol but not with tcp/ip.
There are 4 Windows XP Pro computers connected through a Lynksys router and
a DSL modem that connect to the Internet fine.
Someone previously installed Windows Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) and
this may be what is preventing the computers from connecting to folders on
other computers and even seeing themselves in 'My Network Places'.
I ran the XP Networking Wizard but it keeps saying that I am connecting
through ICS no matter what I select.
I have tried stopping/disabling the Firewall/ICS service but this doesn't
change anything.
The DSL modem apparently requires a username and password but when I try
setting up a new manual connection this way I can't even connect to the
Internet.
How do I uninstall ICS? Could the problem be the Internet Gateway software?
Do I need ICS for some reason even though there is a router?
I have never worked with ICS or networking DSL before so I feel a little
lost.
Thanks for any help or insight anyone can provide!
