I am not sure I posted in the right spot previously so
here goes again:

Cannot get Internet connection sharing to work. Tried
three o/s's(W2K, XP, and 98SE[XP is the one I really want
to connect]) as the client computers. The host computer is
a W2K machine with all firewalls and virus scans off. The
client machines do get a DHCP assigned IP in the correct
range(198.162.0.x) I have also tried to set up statically
too, but, no joy.

I have already gone into the properties for the card
connected to my ISP and enabled ICS on the host machine.
Usual warnings and such.

Help me PLEASE before I pull out my three remaining hairs!!

Please reply to this message in the news group (not by E-mail) with
more information to help other people understand the problem. For
example:

How have you connected the network? Describe the network hardware and
cabling on each computer and how the computers connect to each other.
Are the cable straight-through or crossover? Is there a hub or a
switch?

What does the W2K host show for the TCP/IP properties of its LAN (not
Internet) connection? To see, open a command prompt window and run
"ipconfig /all". They should be:

IP Address: 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: none
DNS Server = none
