New ISP Sharing Help

[youthminman]

I am in the Balkans and am presently using Direcway Satellite ISP, but
will be switching to broadband. With Direcway, each network comp had
to use the proxy server to access the internet through the server comp.


When I connect the broadband, I will set up the server with the new IP
address and DNS. Can anyone suggest any problems I will come up
against when doing this and any answers, i.e. Will I have a problem
continuing to use ICS after the switch over and how do I need to set up
the network comps sharing the connection (after turning off the proxy,
which I will no longer need).

Thank you for your help.

ICS should work fine with your new broadband connection.

Disable ICS on the current Internet connection and enable ICS on the
new broadband connection.

Remove all proxy server settings on all computers. Configure the
other network computers to obtain an IP address automatically.
