FreeISP & Internet Connection Sharing Question..

Yeah, I know this isnt a deal, but I figured people in here use Free ISPs and would know this... I recently lost my University DialUp account due to graduating, so I need another source of Internet access, hence free ISPs. But I've ran into some problems... I have the 56k modem in my Windows2000 PC which is also connected to my LAN. I *used* to have my University dialup setup for internet connection sharing (ICS), and everything on the Home LAN played nice and could see the internet. Well, now my University account is dead and I am left with Free ISPs. When I setup the free isp's they put in a Dialup networking entry, and I setup ICS on that entry, then login with the free isp software. However, none of the free ISPs I've tried (netzero, altavista, bluelight...) are willing to give internet access to the Home LAN via ICS. Am I doing something wrong, or do these free isp's prohibit ICS over their connections? Any experiences you've had with different ISPs please let me know Or point me to a page with lots of info on lots of different free isp's for the USA. thanks, free4apc __________________ I do not think these are related issues. Windows shares a connection, and netzero, freeInet, etc, have no control over what Win2K does when it shares a connection. It creates a DHCP server and has other ocmputers access it and the internet connection. Double check your ICS settings. If worst comes to worst, and nothing is sharing, try Wingate or another 3rd party proxy server Mavi forum
