ICS installation.

I am trying to network a 98se and XP machine. The 98se machine has the internet connection.
When i try to install ICS on the 98se machine it asks for files that are on the 98se cd. Then it says there are not found which means the installation cannot install ICS.
The files it asks for are listed here
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;en-us;q229965
The machines are connected through a wireless network and are sharing files and can communicate with each other.
It is most if not all the files listed in the above web page that it can not find.
If you need anymore info let me know and i will get back.
Thanks in advance.

Is there any way you could use the XP for ICS?
It works much better than 98se.

I bought the computer to put into a loft conversion(for my kid). The cable modem is downstairs and does not have enough wire to put upstairs. In a perfect world i would do this but my kid wont let me.
Should ICS work on 98se? Does it work on 98se?
or is there a free program that wil do it? (Im out of money buying the computer)

Windows 98 Second Edition will serve as an ICS host with no problem.

Yep, that's an easy one. If your CD is not a retail Windows 98 CD (or at
least an OEM CD from Microsoft) the files won't be on it. You'll either
have to beg/borrow/buy one, or check your hard drive for the Windows Setup
files (several dozen files whose names start with WIN98 and end with the
letters CAB).

Regarding using ICS, my advice is - don't. With the price of wireless
routers, wired routers, print servers, wireless cards, NICs, and CAT 5 cable
at rock bottom, ICS is no longer necessary.

So I suggest that you reconfigure your LAN. Get a wireless router that
includes a print server (mine is a D-Link DI-714P+ costing about $50), plug
it into your cable or DSL modem, connect each computer to the router with a
CAT 5 cable (RJ45) connected to a NIC (about $20), and connect your printer
to the router print server port. If you want wireless rather than wired
connections for your computers, replace the NIC in each computer with a
wireless card (about $25).

With a setup like this, there is no such thing as a "host" computer, in that
all computers in your LAN have independent access to the internet whether or
not another computer is turned on, and also each computer has independent
access to the printer whether or not another computer is turned on. Further,
your computers in your LAN will have access to each other's files via file
sharing.

Just a thought.

yeh it would be cheaper than buying an xp upgrade for the old computer.
Well thanks for all your time, I have some more saving to do.
All the best.
