Comment: Hello All,
I have 3 cpu's on an home network, connected to a D-Link 5 port hub, trying to share one internet connection(DSL). Two are running with Win2k and the other Win98. The main internet connection is going through one of Win2k machines. My problem is, I cannot access the internet on the other Win2k cpu, whereas, the '98 cpu can share the internet connection just fine. It gives me the old "The page cannot be displayed" message in the browser. It was working at one point. Then all of a sudden it stop. On the troubled cpu, I can ping all the computers on the network. And visa-versa. I can see all of the cpu's in the network neighborhood. I can access and share files with the other cpu's. I can even print from a shared printer on this machine. It seems like I can do everything but get internet connection. I'm using the 192.168.0.x addressing scheme. All cpu's have static ip's. I've compared all of the machines to see if all the settings/configuration are the same, with exception of the last numbers of the ip address. I've tried re-installing IE 5.5. But that doesn't help. I figured I'm missing somthing in the configuration. But what!!! So, right now I have 2 machines with internet access and 1 without. Please advise. I would greatly apprieciate it. Thanx

Reply: (edit)1.all of network clients must get their ip address automatically through DHCP.(when you turn on internet sharing, win2000p will act like a DHCP server)2.the host computer must be support internet connection sharing.3.the client computers must be configured to use internet connection sharing....try it

Reply: (edit)Thanx Chuck I'll try it. But like I said before, it was working at one point. And all the cpu's had a static ip address. I'll try your suggestion.

Reply: (edit)Chuck:
1) NONE of my machine have dymanic addresses, ALL use ICS (Internet Connection Sharing), THREE are W2K machines (1 is host) and 1 is MacOS 8.6 and ALL work fine.
2) The host machine does support ICS. All W2K boxes support ICS.
3) *blink* All clients must use (only require) TCP/IP and must be set for the same net region (for ICS: 192.168.0.x) and subnet mask (255.255.255.0) and point to the proper gateway (192.168.0.1). Any machine on the internal network w/ TCP/IP and the proper IP config (192.168.0.x;255.255.255.0;192.168.0.1) can use ICS because ICS uses the same packetted protocol as the rest of the Internet. That's how I get mom's Mac to use it. Anthony:
ICS is finicky. W2K boxes all try to grab the host or server job of a network (I don't know how to defeat this setting yet). I'd suggest disabling both connections on the host machine, turn off ICS, double check that all the other boxes are set in the 192.168.0.x range (but not set as x=1), re-enable the internal connection, re-enable the external connection, and then turn ICS back on. (You may optionally restart the machines while the connections are down.) If that does not clear it up, you may need to check the advanced setting for TCP/IP.
Best Luck
