internet sharing

I have had ICS working for months. All 3 computers have XP. Last couple of days, I have to habitually click 'reload' to get a page to display. Any idea what could be going on?

Thanks.

Yeah, ICS is saying: "A new year is coming, it is time to get a Cable/DSL Router".

ICS is rather quirky, many people experience trouble sooner or later.

Yea. I've been thinking about it for a while. But I have one of those Alcatel Stingray 'modems' (USB) with no RJ45 out. I'll have to convince my ISP to give me a new modem. Thanks.

No, it doesn't. At least for me. Yea i does make sharing alot more easier, but then u cant limit the bandwidth.

Yeah, it is very bad 99% of users want to limit bandwidth.

Oh, wait a minute it is actually the opposite. 1% wants to limit bandwidth.

Actually even this 1% can do by using simple client software.

Why would you want to limit bandwidth? Doesn't that make it slower? Or is it to balance bandwidth between PC's?

To keep your asshat housemates from deciding to download the latest Linux/BSD distro or pr0n film right in the middle of your game of Counter-Strike, sending your ping into the 3000s.
