Can ICS be configured to use a different IP?
I am trying to configure ICS on a PC with a "mobile" broadband connection.
The internet conenction is on a user PC (XP) but the primary server for the office was addressed using 192.168.0.1. The goal is for one or two other PCs on the LAN to be able to access a single URL/IP (with no DNS on the LAN, I can handle the single URL restriction using HOSTS or a ROUTE entry on the individual workstations.) The server IP is statically addressed in several locations on each PC in the application configuration, so changing that is an absolute last resort. The original server installation/application vendor would probably have to be called in on Time-and-Materials, which would probably be a deal killer for this particular application. This is a "customer" site where we are trying to migrate them from a paper transaction to an on-line model, so I don't have the authority to simply make that type of change myself. Is there a way to enable ICS using a different IP on the "gateway" PC? Or, can I take the PC where I want to configure ICS off the LAN to avoid the IP conflict and then readdress it without disabling ICS? C. Newell Shiawassee County (MI) |

The IP address is hardcoded in Internet Connection Sharing. Your best bet may be to buy a cheap router for $20 or thereabouts and use that. Hans-Georg |

I'd pay for it out of my pocket to get past this hump, bu tI am not aware of
any low end routers that can emulate teh connection software for a cellular carrier's USB "aircard". The affected office is out of DSL range from any of or carriers, and the closest hard line tap for the local cable company is far enough away that the price they want for stringing the drop has been a deal breaker. I may be able to make a good run with the freeware proxy noted in another response, but I'm still interested if anybody else has any ideas using the native XP tools.

No.
An alternative might be a proxy such as Jana Server "C. Newell" wrote: I am trying to configure ICS on a PC with a "mobile" broadband connection.
