Help with (ICS)Internet Connection Sharing & my network?

I think you really need to change the whole concept and arrangement of your LAN. \n\nWhat I would suggest is this: \n\nSince you already have a wireless router, I am assuming you have more than one Lan port on the wireless router. You can connect your xbox and your wired pc on the LAN of the router, connect the second PC to the router wirelessly, and then on the WAN port of your router connect the Internet there.\n\nAll you need to do now is to enable NAT on the router and all the PCs and the xbox would be on the same network and have internet from the router, hence whatever configuration your pc has to share the printer would be unaffected.\n\nThe reason the printing is disturbeb when you enable ICS, is that ICS changes the network address range of the network card, hence messing with the configured network settings. \n\nIf you really dont have more than one LAN port on the wireless router, you could buy a small hub/switch and connect to the Lan port of the router and then connect your wired devices to the switch. This would have the same effect as the above scenario.\n\nThe only problem with this would be if your wireless "router" is really not a router and only an access point, in which case it wont have a LAN and WAn port.\n\nI hope this has been useful.

More details. Are you both on the same network already? Are you both at home, within the distance reachable by a LAN cable? Are you both using the same Operating System?

check your netowork connections and make sure they are set, also check your browsers security and you may need to update it

runt the network wizard, you have to enable file sharing on them, ans allow them to communicate

Have you dial up connection or connection from a service provider.. There is a setting in Network Commection in windows.. Be sure that the IP address and the DNS server address are entered properly. Call ur internet service provider for more help. They are only people who can give u the correct DNS address. Best of luck.

You can put two LAN segments in a server by adding network cards and sharing them through ICS. However they will each have their own modems and won't be teamed up together for more bandwidth.

U have contact ur service providers to do that. Anyhow there r waysto cahnge ur ip address, but it won't be recognized on the service provider network. U got to have full knowledge of what u r doing to do so.

TCP/IP is probably not configured to connect to the internet on the machines that dont.  I am assuming this is on a network at your office or something like that, and if that is the case, you probably want to let their people mess with it, not you.  if its at home, make sure all of the internet connections gateway through your router.

There might be some restrictions from your network administrator. Contact your network administrator and solve the problem. You might be put under a group policy which has certain restrictions.

You did not mention which company connection you are using. so you have to ask from your isp(internet service provider). most companies have like this \n\nmail.ispname.net\n\nbut it is not necessory but you can try\n\nhowever if not work you can get from you isp.

You're right ME does suck.  But, if you networking with a router, all you'll need to do is make sure TCP/IP is on Auto assign IP address, and auto dns.\n\nAnother thing that might make life easier to to make sure all the computers on the network share a common work group name.\n\nwindows XP and ME ARE compatiable... infact.. windows 95, 98, 98se, ME, xp home, xp pro, server.. etc are all compatiable.

Actually you don't need a router. Buy a switch -  much cheaper and will do the job for you. Or... you can buy another network adapter and configure it. Example:\nComputer1 (allready have a link to internet) has 2 NIC's (1 which exists and 1 you have to buy)\nComputer2 (the one you want to use on internet too) has 1 NIC\n!!!now, you can configure computer1 using ICS (Internet connexion sharing) - if you are using Microsoft Windows XP -> this will let you have internet on the computer2. Xp will do almost all settings for you... It's easy.

What's your internet connection?  An ethernet cable from a dsl modem to your machine or something similar?  \n\nIf so, run your internet connection directly into a router or switch and use that to feed all the computers in this node. \nOtherwise, if  your computer must be used to connect to the internet, install a second NIC [network interface card] in your machine and connect that to either a router or switch.  Then run the network wizard and set your machine as the one connected directly to the internet.  This turns on ICS [internet connection sharing].

plug one end to one computer and the other end to the second computer.   Right click on my network places and click on properties.   Locate the local area connection icon and right click one time on the icon.   Click on properties and then locate the internet protocol (TCP/IP) and click one time to highlight.   Select properties and type in 10.100.5.1 and select okay.   For the subnet mask type in 255.255.0.0 .  Do the same thing to the other computer but use 10.100.5.2 for the ip address.  Oh, make sure that you seelect use the following ip address.  Restart both of the systems and see if you can see the other computer through the my network places.   I just hope that both of the systems are in a workgroup.  If you still can't see the other system on each of the computers share the drive by right clicking the c: drive and selecting sharing and following the directions.   i hope this helps.  the other option is to pull out the drive that you need things off of it and make it a slave in the second computer.  Or best answer just get a flash drive and copy the files to it and be done with the headache.

Each machine will nead to have a NIC (network interface card) installed. The cheapest and fastest way would be to buy four Cat 5e ethernet cables and network the machines together using a Hub, Router or Switch. If you have Windows XP, you're done. Windows XP will automatically configure the network for you. If you have an earlier version you'll have to go to Network Places and add a network, on each machine.\n\nGood luck and have fun.

You need a better description of what you mean.\n\nWhat ISP are you using?\nWhat tools are you using?
