I recently set up a small network with XP, including one
machine running Windows 98. I ran the ICS wizard XP put
on a floppy disk for me on the 98 machine. Now I need to
get rid of the internet connection sharing on the 98
machine. How do I uninstall whatever was on that floppy
disk, including the ICS and internet gateway icon in my
system tray?

I've tried uninstalling the ICS capability on the XP
machine as well as uninstalling and reinstalling the
network options on the 98 machine.

Thank you!

The only thing that the Wizard installed is a program that lets the 98
machine detect the ICS host and use the Internet Gateway icon to
monitor and control the host's Internet connection. To un-install
that program on 98:

1. Click Start | Settings | Control Panel | Add/Remove Programs.
2. Click Windows Setup.
3. Double click Communications.
4. Scroll down the list and un-check Universal Plug and Play.
5. Click OK.

Thanks, Steve. I hope Microsoft pays you for this work!
That program was causing my machine to lock up randomly,
and now that it's gone, everything is back to normal.

You're welcome, Benjamin. I'm glad that my suggestion helped you
solve the problem.
