i have a network with static addresses and i can't change it because 3-party
app requires that static addresses. winXP computer connects on internet
over ISDN and doesn't have 192.168.0.1 address. how can i set other
computers to share that connection (range win95 - winXP clients)?
When you install ics (on the server) it will zap your existing ip
address and change it to 192.168.0.1 mask 255.255.255.0
After installation you need to change it back again and also change
this registry value so it matches your chosen ip address and mask
instead of the default.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ICSharing\Settings\General
IntranetInfo = 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 (change to your chosen ip)
EnableDHCP = 1 (change this to 0 if you want to switch dhcp off)
The clients usually get their gateway and dns info etc. as part of the
dhcp process so you need to enter this manually on the clients
IP Address: 192.168.0.2 (change to whatever address you use)
subnet mask 255.255.255.0 (or whatever you use)
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1 (change to address of ICS server)
DNS Configuration:
Enable DNS
Host = client computer's name
DNS Server = ip address of ICS server or your ISP's DNS server
