ICS and STATIC IP address.
In order for ICS to work the HOST must have a STATIC IP address...
On the Windows98 SE ICS wizzard the ip address of 192.168.0.1 and mask 255.255.255.0 is given automatically. However that IP address is reserved from another machine on the network that for some reasons I cannot change its IP. Is there a way to have ICS working on another STATIC IP address? Say 192.168.0.5? I am trying to configure windows 98 SE edition, but since XP has it too , I want to know that also. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

After automatic installation to 192.168.0.1 you need to change the address in the tcp/ip settings in the usual way and also change this registry value so it matches your chosen ip address and mask instead of the default. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\ICSharing\Settings\General IntranetInfo = 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 (change to your chosen ip) EnableDHCP = 1 (change this to 0 if you want to switch dhcp off) If you are using the ics machine as a dhcp server, you can adjust the dhcp pool as described here. http://support.microsoft.com/default...B;en-us;230148 The ics clients usually get their gateway and dns info etc. as part of the dhcp process so you need to enter this manually on the clients if you have switched dhcp off. eg. IP Address: 192.168.0.x (change to whatever client address you use) subnet mask 255.255.255.0 (or whatever you use) Default Gateway: 192.168.0.5 (change to address of ICS server) DNS Configuration: Enable DNS Host = client computer's name DNS Server = ip address of ICS server or your ISP's DNS server Jim. |
