You only need to install ICS to the host pc, the one with the modem in it. When you run the wizard it will ask you witch one to share, select the modem. You should get a popup saying it has changed the ip add of the nic card in the host. On the client machine open the tcpip properties for the nic card and check the "optain an ip address automaticaly" and "obtain an dns server address automatically". If that dosn't work try useing the internet connection wizard on the client machine and select lan.

Hi. First thing you need to ensure that the host computer (the computer with ICS installed) has the IP 192.168.0.1 and all the other clients (computers without ICS installed) must have an IP in the range of 192.168.0. 2 - 255 (Or you can get the clients to obtain an IP automatically). To ensure this, select Network in Control Panel and Double Click your Ethernet Card under the heading TCP/IP.
For the computers not showing in network neighbourhood (I got fooled by this aswell) you must have the same Workgroup. To make sure of this, go into Network Properties again, and Click the Identification tab and specify a workgroup (which is the same on all networked computers). If that doesn't fix it, then you must ensure that the hardware is correctly set up, your cat-5 (or hub) is all connected and if that fails then I'm sorry I cant help you.
Note: This is only for Windows 98SE. Windows 98 and less don't have support for ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) and higher versions may be slightly different.
