Internet Sharing on a Windows ME LAN

[spinkick]

I got my LAN up and running... file sharing, LAN games, printer sharing, and other stuff is working... except internet sharing.
I have one computer with an internal DSL modem. That computer's NIC is hooked up to a 10baseT ethernet (LinkSys) 5 port hub. And 2 other computers are connected to that hub. They are all running Windows ME, and I've got the DSL computer runnin' the Internet Sharing program.
I've got TCP/IP, IPX, NetBeui and some other protocals on the computers. Is there something I'm overlooking?

what are your ip's?
do you know for sure that your iCS is working?

Make sure under properties for network places that internet connection sharing protocols are installed for your dial-up adaptor, internet connection sharing and your network card.
When you set up internet accessing on the other computers make sure that you select accessing over a LAN.
Also, did you manually assign ip addresses or did you set it to assign them automatically.

You don't need IPX.

Use Netbui for your lan file sharing.

TCP/IP for internet.

Get rid of the other protocalls that you don't need.

Go into the internet explorer properties. Click on the "connection" tab and make sure that "share this connection" is checked. If there is no box that says this then you don't have ics installed. And you have to go into add windows components and install ics.
