Can someone please explain to me or point me to some links on how I can share my broadband connection using two ethernet cards in one system with the DSL and on ethernet card in the other? I heard this is possible. And disadvantages in going this rout? I have all the parts, just not sure how to go about it. I'm conducting my own searches. But anyone with prior knowledge will help speed up my quest.
UPDATE: Everything is working fine. Took me a while to figure out though that I had to select Dial-Up adapter instead of my network card that is connect to my DSL modem.
Earthlink DSL counts as dial-up beacuse you have to connect everytime you wish to work online. Also in network properties you can see that a Dial-up adapter exists, and uses this to connect to the internet.
So when setting up ICS (Internet Connection Sharring) amony two computer on a dial-up broadband connection, during setup when asking "what method you will use to connect to the internet" select "dial-up adapter" instead of your network card that is connected to your broadband modem.
Hope this helps.
