I have an XP pro desktop pc (192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0) connected to dialup
and a laptop(192.168.0.2/255.255.255.0) perfectly lan'ed and shared between
the 2, I have set up an open port with windows firewall to accept
connections from 192.168.0.2 on port 8080 and I told .0.2 to use .0.1 port
8080 as a proxy, so why cant it use the net? is there anything I have done
wrong? any recommendations?

The ICS host is not a proxy but a gateway. Change the IP settings on the
ICS client either to have 192.168.0.1 as the gateway address or simply
set it to obtain IP address automatically. If you've made settings in IE
options to do with Proxy remove them and set to automatic detection of
network. You also shouldn't have to do anything with port filtering on
the ICS host either, simply set the dialup properties for ICS, it should
all be automatic.

still no luck, I upgraded the laptop from 98se to wME, and used the xp
networking disk on the ME and still no ICS, yet networking is always working
fine. ics is enabled on the xp machine and the me machine was told to use
the xp as the gateway.

I'm not familiar with WinME but I've had similar problems with Win98se
ICS client configuration. As I recall I had to change the 98se config
from automatically obtain IP to manual IP config, which would work for a
while then stop, then change it back to automatic, which also worked and
then stopped. Back and forth. It eventually settled dowwn using
automatic IP config. I never did figure it out. I've had much better
luck with Win2K using ICS. You might get better advice in a win9x group.

I finally got it fixed, I used a program from "analogX" called proxyi.exe,
you run it on the server and tell the client to connect to the server IP on
port 6588. really was simple as that.
 
In this description you don't need to set your client to use 192.168.0.1
port 8080 as a proxy. They should be set to obtain their IP & DNS
'dynamically' and they should get internet access. ICS is NAT routing
software not a proxy server.

Good but it's different from ICS.

well I've tried 2k on the laptop and it still made no difference, in fact
the netsetup disk xp creates wont run on a 2k machine, I followed a bunch of
MS help guides to setting up ICS and none of them worked on an updated (ms
update disk july2004) 2k machine. it's plain got me stumped. trust anaolgx
to come to the rescue.
