Step 2:
Configure network computers to use ICS
To get
your Client computers up and working you
must configure them to obtain an IP
address automatically. To do so you must
go to their Local Area Connection icons
(like you did in step 1) and select the
properties for the TCP/IP protocol. You
must then select "Obtain IP address
automatically" and press Ok.
To see if
the computer has successfully received
an IP address from the ICS service, go
to a command prompt and type "ipconfig
/all" (without the quotes you moron!).
Notice that it should say "DHCP Enabled
= Yes", and that the IP address should
be in the 192.168.0.0 range (probably
192.168.0.2, 3, 4 and so on). If it's
not showing yet, you can force a renewal
of the IP address by typing "ipconfig
/renew" and waiting a few seconds.
If you're
using Win9X go to Start/Run and type
"winipcfg" and do a renew from the
window.
Problems
ICS is a
practical feature for people that do not
know how to configure their Internet
Connection Sharing through NAT. But one
thing should be clear as crystal:
