usb "dial-up" dsl modem not available in "network adapters" in ICSwizard
Hi there
I've been down this road several times before, and I've even solved it a couple of times, but cannot for the life of me remember how! I'm running the Internet Connection Sharing wizard on win98. My SpeedTouch adsl usb modem isn't shown in the list of network adapters when I'm asked what device I use to connect to the internet. It *is* shown in the list under Control Panel System Device Manager. Instead, I choose Dial-Up Adapter (also shown in Device Manager as a seperate device), but can't connect. I did try binding TCP/IP manually to the usb modem, but couldn't see how. Anyone got any ideas where I'm going wrong? this article describes the problem perfectly, and got SO close to the answer... I got lost a bit at the PPPoE bit - perhaps there lies the problem: http://groups.google.co.uk/group/mic...74df4ec1f9888a Very many thanks in advance. -- cheers Biz |

Well after more and more rooting around, I came across this: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=k...23120121120120 which pointed me at this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/273587/EN-US/ which didn't work. From hints in the first link, I looked into the ICSSetup.Log and both the Dial-Up Adapter and my SpeedTouch DSL modem are listed. I'm now going to try checking the file during the ICS wizard. I note that I'm not asked if I want to connect using a Dial-Up or Broadband connection during the wizard. I'm sure at some point during this process I have had that option! Meanwhile practicallynetworked made the very sensible suggestion of ensuring the LAN's working properly before doing anything. In doing so, I have now specified the host TCP/IP address as 192.168.0.1, the client as 192.168.0.2, and given the client a gateway of 192.168.0.1. In fact the LAN's not 100% there. I have a win98 machine as the host, and winME as the client. The winME-client machine can see the win98-host machine in full - not only pingable, but fully browsable under "Entire Network" too. The win98-host machine can ping the winME-client machine, but it's not there in the Network Neighbourhood (says I have to log on). I've disabled the winME-client firewall (doing that allowed me to ping it). -- cheers Biz |
