How can I
configure Internet Connection Sharing
(ICS) on my Windows 2000 computer?
This is a
step by step setup of how you get
Windows 2000 Server (or Professional) to
use Internet Connection Sharing or ICS.
These
instructions assume that when you have a
Cable Modem connection or an ADSL
connection (frankly, it can also be a
simple Dial-Up modem connection, but
that won't get you anywhere, would it?).
Let's say
you have the following LAN
configuration:
Internet
|
|
|
|
212.143.143.12
(Real IP from ISP)
SRV1
(This will be the ICS computer)
192.168.0.1 (Bogus IP
- Configured by ICS)
|
|
|
|
Switching Hub---------PRO2
|
192.168.0.2 (Bogus IP - Configured
by ICS)
|
|
|
|
192.168.0.3 (Bogus IP
- Configured by ICS)
PRO3
Instead of
a hub you could use a crossover cable to
the other computer but then you will
only be able to connect 2 computers, and
if you'd want more you'd need more NICs. |
