Hello,
We have 5 machines and using Win2000 sever on each machine per on server
basis, one of my pc have internet connention and I want to share it to other
two pcs also. I do network through Ethernet LAN and use internet connection
through USB port. I don't want to connect it directly to Hub since any one
can have internet connection using IP. Please help me.

Thanks

ICS is a poor choice for connecting an Ethernet LAN to the Internet. It
is OK (but not really very good) for sharing a connection to one or two PCs
in a home network.

If you install ICS on one machine (with the USB modem as the public
interface and the Ethernet NIC as the private interface), any machine on the
LAN will be able to access the Internet _if_ it gets its IP config from ICS
(or is correctly configured manually). It will not be able to access the
Internet if you configure it manually and do not set the default gateway to
be the ICS machine's private IP address.

Note that if some LAN machines are getting their network config from ICS
and some are configured manually, they will not be able to see each other
unless they are in the same IP subnet. By default ICS uses 192.168.0.0/24 .
