Internet Connection Sharing with Dial Up on a Dell, and a LAN
We have a home network set up currently. There are four computers connected. The first one, I will refer to as the Dell, is connected to the router by wire. The second one, the HP, and the third and fourth ones, two gaming computers, are all connected wirelessly. Th Dell and HP have Windows XP, and the two gaming compters have Windows 2000. The Internet that comes into the house is standard 56K Dial up and connects to the Dell through it's modem. We have the Dell's Dial Up connection set for Internet Connction Sharing. The only problem we are having is connecting the other three computers to the internet through the Dell. All four computers IP address's are currently static, and are as follows:
Dell: 192.168.0.1
HP: 192.168.0.2
Other 1: 192.168.0.3
Other 2: 192.168.0.4
Router: 192.168.0.254
Basically, when the 3 other compters want to access the web, I need to get the to address thier request to the Dell so the Dell can then 'foward' the request to the modem and out it goes. But for some reason, I can'tset it up to do that. Does anyone know how to set it up to do that? We've been working on this for quite while now and have tried many things. Thanks for your help.
BTW: The DHCP server is disabled on the router, and the three computers are all configured so that the gateway for them is the dell (192.168.0.1).

pilot41187,
Here are a few things to check:
ICS is very fussy about its IP address range. You are using the corrcet range (192.168.0.x). Make sure the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
The router should be configured for "router" mode (your router may call it something else) vs. "gateway" mode, which is the normal default mode for a router connecting to a broadband modem.
On the ICS clients, open IE and navigate to Tools - Options - Connections tab and make sure "Never dial..." is selected. Then click the LAN Settings tab and make sure none of the boxes are checked. OK out.
If none of that works, try configuring one of the ICS clients to obtain an IP address automatically and see if it get an IP address from the ICS host.
