Internet Connection Sharing

Have a client who is running 2 fixed PC with Windows 2000 on both, and 3 Laptops, 2 running 98 and 1 running ME.

Anyway, setup a dial up on one of the windows 2000 PC's and set it to share, configured the laptops and other desktop appropriately to share the connection (pointing DNS & Gateway to 10.0.0.1), which is the IP address after I reset it from 192.168.0.1 which it automatically changed to.

Anyway, dial on demand is enabled and it does dial but that's it, it does not connect and no status window comes up on the PC doing the dialing to say "Dialing" "Connecting" etc....but when you dial it manually on that machine...all is well....any ideas?

We have the same setup here at work and it al works fine, the only difference on the machine doing the dialing really is the modem is a different make and chipset...could that be it?

Thanx,

As I said it's using Internet Connection Sharing, so no router involved, just an internal 56k Modem on one of the Windows 2000 PC's....I have tried it on both and get the same effect yet at our office we don't when I tried it out with a Windows 2000 PC.

There is a dial tone, and the modem does dial, but no dialog boxes come up and it doesn't connect, almost like it's dialing the number but not sending the username and password info.

We were gonna go ADSL but they say they very rarely browse the net and are just picking up emails, with word doc attachments at best.....but if this solution doesn't work or it works and proves too slow then they will get ADSL.

for microsoft ics you have to use the IP addressing scheme of 192.168.0.1 as the ics machine, set all of your pc's to run on this 192.168.0.xxx with a class c network of 255.255.255.0 and have the clients point thier gatway and dns to 192.168.0.1. will fix all your problems, enjoy.

or just read the AT faq's, has all that in there, but is more long winded.
 
Hmmm....using a 10.0.0.x scheme at work, works fine with a mixture of 2000 and XP PC's....but will give a try anyway, Subnet mask is on 255.0.0.0, will try changing that too....ta!
