Configuring ICS after SP1

Hi,

I have saw a similar post before on the same discussion on SP1 and ICS, but
since my scenario is slightly different so sorry if it is a complete repeat
of the other post.

After upgrading to Windows 2003 server SP1, our ICS connection (via PPPoE)
stops and all our clients are not able to access the internet. So this is
what I did after it all happened:

- Disable the Windows Firewall for the PPPoE connection
- Checked in Services and restart the ICS service

But after both actions the access still not freed up. So would like to see
if anybody can get ICS working after SP1 and able to share their experience.

Thanks for the information in advance!

We have seen many cases like this. I would setup NAT instead of ICS. These search results may help,

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the post! I will try out your suggestion and see how it goes.
I would wonder whether they will release a fix in the future SPs for this
type of issues.
