New The amazingly quick guide to Internet Connection Sharing
1. Enable ICS on the Windows XP computer.
2. Set all other computers to "obtain IP address automatically".
3. Reboot everything.

That should be about it.

The client computers should have IP addresses of the form 169.254.x.x with a netmask of 255.255.0.0 - this is the range reserved by Microsoft for APIPA, Automatic Private IP Addressing, which is available on Windows 98 and up.

Turn NetBEUI off, for goodness' sake! That's not a Real Man's network protocol!

Where do I do that? Windows is so simple to set up, I can't find it.

New version?
Most are right click Network Neighborhood, find the TCP/IP protocol for the appropriate nic, select Properties and it should be right there. (tab is IP Address)

New Hmmm, interesting
I have access to the Internet, but I can't see files on my desktop computer. At least the network connection is *working*, even if I don't have the settings quite the way I want.
