NeoMayhem Posted December 29, 2002 Author Share Posted December 29, 2002 Does the windows XP ICS work like that, withough configuration? I thought you had to make some setup disks for the other computers, and I dont want that :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xahid Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 No, you don't need to make Floppy Disks. it will work without using them. But it will not work as "router", Just Internet connection sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinmthomas Posted December 29, 2002 Share Posted December 29, 2002 What do you mean by Proxy? ICS doesn't use a Proxy in the sense of a corporate proxy server, but a NAT does funnel all requests through a specific IP address. Windows ICS doesn't require networking setup disks - WinXP ICS provides disk to auto configure clients if don't know how, but basically, ICS is a NAT/DHCP, so you basically need to set all your clients up for DHCP and they will auto configure themselves to use the ICS machine for DNS, gateway, etc. See here for more info: http://www.homenethelp.com/ics/index.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
