Internet Connection Sharing & Non-Windows XP Clients

So you are sharing an Internet connection between multiple computers. Once you have enabled ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) on your computer, you must configure the remaining computers to be ICS clients. The process is slightly different if you have workstations running pre-Windows XP platforms. When you use the Network Setup Wizard to enable ICS on a computer running Windows XP, you will have the option of creating a Network Setup Disk.
For computers running Windows 98/98 SE/Me, you can use the Network Setup Wizard to configure ICS. To run the wizard on these platforms you will need the Network Setup Disk you created when enabling ICS on the host computer or you can run the wizard directly from the Windows XP CD. To run the wizard using the floppy diskette, insert it into the floppy drive and double-click Netsetup.exe. To start the wizard from the Windows XP CD, insert the CD in the optical drive, click the option to Perform additional tasks, and click Set Up Home Or Small Office with Networking.
