Home networking using ICS and LAN

[Atomic Mitten]

Does anybody on the forum have two computers set up on a CAT5 Crossed LAN cable RJ45.

Using ICS and a USB Modem ?

If so please post a reply.Thanks :)

NB:Does anyone also know if I can play emperor over a proxy server connection to my Host computer.?I want to play Emperor on my client comp,as well as my Host computer.

I have a network set up using RJ45 CAT5 cable but on a Barricade router.

Thanks ! I got the network working,but I can't access Outlook express on the client.

I can access Internet Explorer though,any ideas what settings I need to use for Outlook express on the client ?

[Dunenewt]

Umm no I've had the same problem but never bothered to sort it out.

[Atomic Mitten]

If you have spent as much time as I have to get the damned thing to work,I understand why.lol ;D

Anyone else know how ?

[Dunenewt]

lol I gave up pretty quickly.  What does ICS stand for?

Internet Connection Sharing

have you looked at the settings in the screenshot below. . .

[ sorry for them being in Dutch. . . although I hope you can deduce most of the info in there ]

[Atomic Mitten]

Where is this sub menu,I can't find it ?

[gryphon]

In the same place as where you have to enable ICS on an adapter.

On the advanced tab of the properties dialog of a network adapter. There is an settings button which gives me the tab pictured above.

I've discovered a problem causing as a conflict,

In my comp I have a WLAN,a Firewire 1394 and a LAN adapter.

The address 192.168.0.1 is assigned to the 1394 adapter,the address 192.168.0.1 is assigned to the WLAN adapter.

If I give the LAN card an address of 192.168.0.3 what should the gateway address be for the client and host ?

Should the Network Bridge be enabled ?

What if any DNS or WINS settings should be entered ?

At the moment the automatically obtained IPA'S are :

Host:169.254.160.202

Client:169.254.231.70

Help !

[gryphon]

I would start with disableling the WLAN and firewire adapter.

How did those 2 computers get that IP address ?

[Atomic Mitten]

I've tried that as well.They got these addresses set to automatically find address.As I stated in my post.

I have changed them to read,169.254.160.202 and 169.254.160.203

I can ping each way but can't access Internet Explorer on the client.Which dns or wins settings should I use on the clients Internet Explorer Lan settings.?

[Atomic Mitten]

I finally found the culpret for my network problems,it was my firewall,once I had reset my Winsock filter using a fix exe,I downloaded a free firewall from Sygate.com,Sygate Personal Firewall.

Now everything works fine.So if Dunenewt wants the info? please ask.

[Dunenewt]

Did you use Zonealarm before?

[Atomic Mitten]

No McAffee,but I've read about similar problems with zonealarm.
