I have a dial-up connection on a WinXPpro machine and am trying to share it
with a Win98 client. ICS is turned on in the Dial-up properties if XP. The
Win98 client TCP-network properties has Win config disabled, Gateway as the
XP address and a DNS server set to the XP address.
The client machine is running IE 6; is set to never dial a connection; under
LAN settings nothing is checked.
Please provide ipconfig information for each computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, copy and paste into your next post.
Identify operating system (by name and version) with each ipconfig listing.
