UPGRADING REPAIRING PCs

Win98SE, Windows 2000, Windows Me, and ICS 187
• Use a Web browser on each guest to verify the connection is
working; Internet Explorer should not have any dial-up settings
configured for it, and should have no LAN settings
enabled. The ICS client for Windows 98 disk selects Use a
Proxy Server here, which is not correct. Netscape
Navigator/Communicator should be set to Direct Connection
to the Internet.
• Some versions of Netscape Navigator might not work unless
you create a Dial-Up Networking “adapter” on the guest and
set its gateway as previously discussed.
Reboot before you test the connection.
Setting Up ICS with a Windows 2000 Host Computer
Windows 2000 has built-in Internet connection sharing features.
Log in as administrator before starting the following procedure. As
with ICS for Windows 9x/Me, a LAN connection to the Internet
must be shared by way of a second LAN card.
To share a connection, follow these steps:
1. Open the Network and Dial-Up Connections icon in the
Control Panel.
2. Right-click the connection you want to share and select
Properties.
3. Select the Internet Connection Sharing tab and enable sharing
on your computer.
4. If this is a modem connection, you can select the Enable On-
Demand Dialing check box on the same tab as Internet
Connection sharing. Enabling this feature launches the connection
whenever other computers connected to this host
computer need Internet access.
To connect to a shared connection on a Windows 2000 host, follow
these steps:
1. Make sure you are running Windows 9x, Windows NT, or
Windows 2000 Professional on your client.
2. Verify that the NIC that connects your client to the host is
set to the following:
• Obtain an IP address automatically
• Use DHCP for WINS resolution
• Connect to a DNS server automatically
