I am not sure about XP, as Windows 2000 is the latest version of the Microsoft O/S that I plan to run, but I have seen some issues in my home setup with ICS and Linux.
I am forced to use DirecPC for my Internet connection, and DirecPC requires a Windows box to run the drivers for the access device. When using ICS, I got frequent network stalls from Linux. The solution, provided by this group, was to get Deerfield's Wingate proxy server. Using the HTTP, FTP and SOCKS proxy (for ssh) I am able to use my DirecPC connection from Linux on other machines. -T Ryan Leathers said: > To setup Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) on Windows XP do this: > Click Start > Click Control Panel > Click Network and Internet Connections > Click Network Connections > Under Common Tasks, click Network Setup Wizard > Follow the directions given by the Wizard > -----Original Message----- > From: Bryan Burroughs [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Is it possible to set a windows XP machine to share an internet > connection so that a linux machine can use it?
