share Internet Connection with Windows XP

[Guest]

I want to set Up Internet Connection Sharing. It is said that I need to
designate a Windows XP computer as the host and This computer must have two
network adapters, one for your internal network and one for the Internet
connection.I have a ADSL internet service which I use a modem with Both modem
and ethernet port. can i use it as one of network adapters as my Internet
connection?

No you don't have to designate any computers as you have a adsl
router/hub which acts for this.

If you have wireless adapters on all the system then go ahead and
connect normally. Just make sure the router is set at DHCP so that IP
addresses are given dynamically.

You have a DSL modem - does it use Ethernet or USB to connect to the host?
Whichever, yes that can be 1 of the 2 network adapters. The other must be an
Ethernet port (a second Ethernet port IF the modem uses Ethernet), and it must
be how the client computer(s) are connected.

If the DSL modem uses Ethernet, you'll be a lot better off getting a NAT router,
and using that instead of ICS, though. If the DSL modem uses USB, get a better
modem.
