ICS will not work with 1998 and XP as a server and client ?!?!? [routher] [wireless router]
Q: Im someone who has satellite, and she bought a 4-port wireless router, but the output of the satellite has only USB and no ethernet, so they can not even use the routher. Now her computer is running 98 (DOS it requires for the things they do) and when we try and hook the router as a hub, the 98 machine always says: “Internet Connection Sharing disabled, other machines on the network must not have an Internet connection installed “or something to that effect. Anyway, I see no way to remove ICS from XP (the XP client machine), and Im stuck toatally. Any clues?
Re:Sygate!! That's the name of the ICS program i used… thanks for reminding me guy
Definately go with Sygate
Re:No it doesn't help at all because it says what I allready know…..that ICS has to be installed only on the 98 computer, yet ICS cannot be uninstalled from XP. Basically I don't think a 98 machine can be made a host for ICS with XP clients at all no matter what you do.

Re:I'm running a setup where a 98se box is the ICS server. My comp runs XP. My dad's runs XP, the otehr computers run 98 (mix of SE and "non-se"). We have no problems. I just set my XP box to use DHCP and it boots and grabs an IP.
Re:Windows 98 Second Edition most definately does have ICS built into it.
Re:Windows 98 doesn't have internet connection sharing built into it, so there's no way that can work.
I've used Sygate to accomplish this with Win98.
Re:How does winroute work, compared to ICS in windows?
(sorry for the hijack;) )
Re:I had the exact same problem before… the only solution was to use a different ICS program. (Ex WinRoute)
Re:Originally posted by guy:
Anyway, it would be simpler to use the WinXP PC to be server and Win98 as Client, or install WinXP on the Win98 PC.
That's precisely the problem, each computer is in the location it needs to be, and the Win98 machine is by the sattelite modem, and the lady is completely unwilling to part with Win98 because she needs DOS.
Re:I'm a little confused about the problem, but here's some info that may help: ICS in Win98 requires that you install some files on the client, I suspect that because of this WinXP is somewhat incompatible(perhaps someone knows a work around). Anyway, it would be simpler to use the WinXP PC to be server and Win98 as Client, or install WinXP on the Win98 PC.
Re:I have not dealt with ICS between Win9x and Win2K/XP systems, but I would think that ICS could be done between them. However, getting them to work as designed is another story.
