I have been trying to set up ICS on my PC for some time without success and
receive the message - a Lan connection is already set with the address for
automatic ip addressing when I enable ICS on the "internet" connection.
I have 2 lan cards in the PC, and 2 PCs connected (working ok) the IP
addresses are - HOST - "LAN" connection is set to 192.168.0.20, "internet"
connection (via an ADSL modem) is set to 192.168.0.1, this is the one I am
trying to enable ICS on. The ADSL modem is on 192.168.0.10, the CLIENT PC is
set to 192.168.0.21.
Any help much appreciated.

Rob,

The terminology here is a bit awkward, but you enable ICS on the LAN connection
(where the clients connect), if you're using the Network Setup Wizard.

Now if your WAN connection (where the Internet service ie) is on 192.168.0/24
(192.168.0.x), you're going to have a problem. ICS requires that 192.168.0.1 is
the address used by the ICS server for connecting to the clients. This is not
an option easily changed.

But if you have an Ethernet WAN, on 192.168.0/24, why do you want to use ICS?
