      Windows 2000 Internet Connection Sharing
      Host Installation

      Before you install/configure ICS, I suggest that you first install the network on all systems and verify, that you have a working connection.
      Then       define your Internet Connection, configure/verify the connection and test the connection.

      Then, right-click on your desktop on "      My Network Places" , select "Properties",
      right-click on your Internet-connection and select again "      Properties":


      tab: Shared Access by definition, connections are not shared.



      Activate the Sharing (note the warning above the checkmark about "interruption of local network operations", see the reason below) and then also enable (=place the Checkmark) on "Enable on-demand dialing":

      When this system is NOT connected to the Internet and another systems needs Internet access, this ICS HOST will dial automatically.


      tab: Options
      To avoid disturbing the person working on the ICS Host, minimize any display of connection progress. Also, define the Idle Time before the connection will be terminated.

      On selecting OK, you are advised:


      The TCP/IP-address of your network card is changed to 169.254.0.1 , which has been reserved by Microsoft for a Windows2000 ICS-Host (while Microsof has reserved for a Windows98SE ICS Host the IP-address 192.168.0.1)
      Also, a DHCP-server is activated for automatically assigning IP-address to ICS Clients.

      The change is made without having to reboot, you can check the change by opening a "Command Prompt" and entering "IPCONFIG":


      There are 2 locations to define "Idle Time before hangup/Disconnect":

      - as part of the       Properties of the connection, tab Options
      - as part of the Internet Options in the Control-Panel, tab: Connections, select your connection and check "      Settings" then "Advanced".


      You'd also need to configure the ICS Clients.
