LAN on Win2000

[Peter]

Hi. I am a complete novice in networks. Could somebody
help me find a website that explains me how to connect 2
Win2000 PC with simple ethernet cards. Do I need to share
their directories? Do I need to assign IP adresses? Thanks.

Thanks for the link to
But I still can't get to the internet from my laptop (ICS client)
through my desktop (ICS HOST), the desktop has the USB ADSL modem
attached to it.

I can ping the desktop from the laptop and move files between the two
systems but I just can't get any internet access from the laptop

Does anyone have any clues?

If ipconfig on the Desktop (HOST) I get


Windows 2000 IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter LAN:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

PPP adapter Alcatel Speedtouch Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : My IP Address
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.255
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : My IP Address


If ipconfig on the Laptop (Client) I get

Windows 2000 IP Configuration

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Connection-specific DNS Suffix . :
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.100
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1

This all seems in order, yes?

Richard Lin gave me this advice

'after enabling the ICS on the connection you wanna share,
then goto RRAS (my computer >manage> RRAS ) to enable IP
routing for connection sharing.'

but I cant find the RRAS in the device manager of the control panel in
My computer and there is nothing in my computer called manager.

I would appreciate any help, as a student teacher I can't afford to but
a router just yet.

I assume I can use ICS with a USB ADSL modem on win2k prof!

Thanks
