Connecting Win95 through networked XP-SP3 via ICS to internet
I am trying to connect a Win95-laptop to the internet using the network and
the XP-SP3 desktop with ICS enabled. Is this possible at all? Does anyone know? I assumed that IE on W95 would need a Proxy-IP-address and portnumber, but where to find the port-number? Please help! I don't want my kids to use the desktop, but they are allowed to screw around on the laptop... P@ul, |

I don't think that's been published yet. Here are a few websites with useful tutorials: http://www.cablesense.com/ http://www.homenethelp.com/ http://www.practicallynetworked.com/ http://www.wown.com/ And Paul, please learn to munge your email address properly, to keep yourself a bit safer when posting to open forums. Protect yourself and the rest of the internet - read this article. http://www.mailmsg.com/SPAM_munging.htm -- Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |

Configure the Win95 TCP/IP properties to obtain an IP address automatically -- that's all that's necessary. ICS isn't a proxy server, so there are no proxy settings. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
