Hi,

I have a VPN server setup on my xp box, which also
connected out to Comcast cable internet. I have a friend
using a different ISP connecting through the VPN(client
with XP) and we want to share the internet on my box.
When it connects, it gets an IP, but the gateway IP is
wrong and it doesn't route him to the internet at all.

any suggestions .. is this even possible? Thanks alot!

Do not install VPN on W2K with ICS running

Many users have reported that they were experienced some difficulties after
installing VPN on w2k/xp running ICS and ICS clients may receive "Error:
Page Can Not be Displayed" message. The reason is that establishing a VPN
connection on the ICS Host modifies the Routing Table on the ICS Host. that
will forces all clients that try to connect to the Internet to use the VPN
routing table instead of the ICS routing table used to connect to the
Internet service provider (ISP). You may modify the route table to fix this
problem, for example, route -p add <network> mask <subnet mask> <router ip>.
If you want too add a route for a single host (firewall which is on another
subnet), do this route -p add <ip> mask 255.255.255.255 <host ip>, for
example, route -p add 192.168.0.100 255.255.255.255 160.213.320.1.

Is the host IP the gateway on the local network, or the
gateway of the actual ISP(comcast server my gateway
connects to).

Thanks for the reply!
