I have a WinXP SP1 home system connected to an ISDN modem and several clients
sharing the connection. Most of the time everything works as expected, but
perhaps 40% of the time, the ICS host machine seems to ignore requests from
clients to connect or to disconnect. (As for the clients, one is a notebook
running WinXP Pro SP1, another is a notebook running WinXP Pro SP2, another
is an old desktop running Win98 which can't control the connection at any
time) Since things work most of the time, I think all my settings are OK.
Sometimes (but not always) when the ICS host doesn't want to respond, that
connection disappears from the Network Connections windows of the clients.
Since the ICS host machine is in another room, it's frustrating to have to
walk to the other room to connect or disconnect on the 4 or so out of 10
times the host ignores the client requests. Other than that, the connection
works fine.
