hi i recently posted the thread http://www.techsupportforum.com/mode...ble-modem.html
and i managed to get it all working but every time the connection dropped out or a pc is restarted i had to basically rerun the wizard but this last time it isnt working at all i thought maybe it was becuase of dhcp renew times but i dont know the modems IP possibly could someone direct me on how to setup the LAN described in the old thread but with static settings? i have never seen this behaviour before and i only have until tommorrow night to get it done. please help!

May I suggest a broadband router?

I hate ICS, and you are illustrating one reason why.

Since you can pick up a broadband router on a rebate deal for $10 and up, I think you can easily dodge that much aggravation in trying to get ICS to work.

Here's where I'd start my search for a cheap broadband router.
