ICS(Internet Connection Sharing)
Here's the deal,
I have 2 computers running win 98 SE.
one is connected to the interned via ADSL using a network adaptor. the 2 computers are connected to each other via phoneline (netgear pa301).
Things that works:
I can see and reach both computers from the Network Neighborhood.
The Host computer can access the internet.
I have given static IP address to both computers and I can ping them both from each other.
I think the ICS is defined ok on the Host computer since I followed the troubleshooting instructions that I found on micrsoft site.
But the conection sharing doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Well i checked in several help sites - none helped.
I tried DHCP and ststic addressing - not helped.
I finally gave up after trying wingate which also didn't work.
A friend of mine told me to try WinProxy I did and it worked.
I have no Idea why ICS isn't working but I willing to file it under "Windows - Things that just doesn't work" section.

Well numerical pining isn't working nor does address pinging.
The only thing that look strange is that, when I do a tracert from the client computer to the host I get
"Tracing route to host [XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX]"
but the IP address is of the client.
Somthing is just wrong put I can't say what.
