I have a wireless gateway with 4 ethernet ports and 1 WAN
port (this is for cable/dsl/eth) - i am trying to set up
ICS.
All the computers can see each other and are sharing
files etc - when the computer with a dial-up modem
connects to the internet the other computers can't access
the internet/
any hints?

Since you're using ICS with a dial-up connection, bypass the wireless
router's routing capability and use it as just a wireless access
point. Here's how to do it. Check the router's documentation for
help with steps 2-4:

1. Connect the ICS host computer's Ethernet adapter to one of the
router's wired LAN ports, not to its WAN (Internet) port.

2. Access the router's built-in web server, which is usually at an
address like http://192.168.1.1

3. Disable the router's built-in DHCP server.

4. Change the router's LAN IP address to 192.168.0.254 to be
compatible with Internet Connection Sharing.

5. Enable Internet Connection Sharing on the host computer's dial-up
Internet connection. If it asks which connection to use for the home
network, tell it to use the one that connects to the router's LAN
port.

Have you assigned static IP address to host with modem 192.168.0.1
Assign clients unique static IP address with default gateway on all clients
192.168.0.1 with sub domain 255.255.255.0
Assign the Router 192.168.0.2 sub domain 255.255.255.0 and and turn off DHCP
hosting.

I hope this answers your problem.
