    Post DSL Sharing Problem

    I have a customer who has a Acatel USB DSL modem and when I go to share the connection in Windows 98 connection sharing, it only gives me the option to share the internal analog modem. How can I share this connection? The modem is supported by BellSouth but they say that they have not idea how to fix this and they do not know who to call, I went to the manufactures web site, but got no help there either, any ideas?

    being that its a usb modem.. therefore it wouldn't have 2 NIC's but you need to have a NIC in the machine in addition to your usb device, If ya didn't know ICS gives your machine the ability to act as a port forwarding router.
    So in the end you have the usb modem going into your machine and the nic card in your machine goes to the hub. and ICS uses your machine for NAT.

    Hope this helps.. if you already got all this then we can continue

    I guess I need to customize some setting of ICS to get it to share the USB connection. I understand with WIN2000 Server you can customize NAT but I do not know how to customize, or even if you can customize ICS.
