ICS in Win2k (NAT) : How to host?

[Swakoo]

Hi people, I have 3 com connected via hub, with the one using win2k connected to the cable modem directly.
My other com thus have a auto assign internal IP each.

But recently, I wanted to host games like Diablo2 and Counterstrike on my gaming machine (one of the com sharing and have internal ip).

Question is : How I host? Since its IP is internal IP...

i think ics was only including in win2k advance server and winme. they left it out of win2k because it was only suppose to be a client os.

It's there, I'm trying not to fall back on it now.. I payed for Winproxy, and can't get it working.. bah.

Anyway, go to network properties, and doubleclick on the card you want to do the sharing (I think, haven't tried this). I assume this wont have to be the card actually on the net, if you have two like me.

There's a Properties button, then a 'sharing' tab.

ICS is also a service you can run/stop... mine wasn't going by default, so i'm not sure if it will fire up on it's own.

Hope I helped...

Grr can't stand winproxy. You'll have more luck with sygate. easier to configure and get running. But how do you host games through proxies?

I don't host games anyway...

Also, I was wrong. Enable ICS on the card with the net connection, and it messes with the card on the backend, works surprisinly well.

I loved WinProxy.. after using WinGate that is...

Actually wondermike, win2k pro has ICS in it. However Im on server right now and I cant seem to find ICS. Rather odd.

So does anyone know how to host game via ICS using another com not connected firectly to the cable modem?

You'd prbably have to do some kind of port forwarding. *sigh* If only you were using Linux, I'd be able to tell you how to set it up... are there port forwarding options in the ICS properties?

I have the same problem as Swakoo except that on my lan, I have Windows 98 running on the computer directly connected to the internet. Can anyone offer any solutions to our problem?

Thanks.
