ICS and SP2

[Bill Mcneil]

I know, I know. I should wait on the SP2 install. But I didn't...and
here is my issue. Internet Connection Sharing now no longer works. Áll
firewalls are off (including the microsoft one) and anti-virus
programs. The hist computer is using ICS to service a G4 laptop.
Worked fine before...but now...

Anyone having the same issue? If so, have you found a work around,
short of uninstalling SP2?

Thanks

Bill,

I have the same problem right after I install SP2. After two days of
tweaking, I finally figure it out. All you need to do is to open Control
Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services, set DHCP Client to Automatic
Startup Type and start the service.
Hope this will help.
