ICS Windows 2000 client
Microsoft Internet Connection Sharing

Right click on the ‘My Network Places’ icon on your desktop to bring up your Network and Dail-up connections. From here right click on your LAN connection and select ‘

Properties’. Install TCP/IP and any other components that you do not have from the following list:

Client for Microsoft Networks
File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
NetBEUI

If you have other protocols installed like IPX you may remove them – they are not needed.

Select TCP/IP and click the properties. On this screen, you should select ‘Obtain an IP Address Automatically’ and ‘Obtain DNS server address automatically’. Click OK and the computer ‘may’ ask you to reboot.

Configuring Internet Explorer (5.x)

First close all copies of Internet Explorer. Next, right click on the Internet Explorer icon on your desktop and click properties. Select the connections tab. If you can, select ‘never dial a connection’. Next, click the LAN Settings tab and clear all check boxes here. Your new configuration does not require a proxy server.

Finished!

Re: Unable to obtain IP address

host should have IP 192.168.0.1 all other computers
DHCP. Firewall maybe your reason for no access? Set
IP range to 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 Zone Alarm
needs this IP range set to trusted.

I have Windows 2000 Server inthat I shared my connection and client computers have windows 2000 proffessional. We are using browsing and outlook express. After giving the sharing I opened all the systems outlook express. I connected inetrnet with Dialup Modem. after giving the sharing after 6 minutes incomming is stopped of all clients. but browsing and Out going from Outlook is working properly. After I look for the fault. I found a problem. that is for example we have sys1, sys2, sys3, sys5, sys6, sys7, sys8, sys9 and sys10.

in these systems 6 and 7 systems when I will start after 6 minutes outlook incomming is stopped. I am running with one machine in 6 and 7 it is working good.
