1. Onsite Router ? or just one connection out?
NIC cards are VERY cheap - might save cost of card by savings in having an
"extra PC " always turned on.
2. I haven't used ICS on Win7 yet, so
Do a Google search for
internet connection sharing static ip (IPv4)
and you'll see:
http://www.sevenforums.com/network-sharing/97215-sharing-internet-using-static-ip-ipv4.html
windows 7 we must set ip static (using IPv4) to 192.168.137.1
?????
Otherwise:
3. With 4 pc's sharing an internet connection ...
If one connection, just give them all a static IP and use the host's IP
address
Don't bother with browsing for a NAME
example:
PC1=192.168.0.1 = one with ICS enabled
PC2 =192.168.0.102
PC3=192.168.0.103
PC4=192.168.0.104
PC5=192.168.0.105
and rather than referring to them as PC1, PC2 etc for routing
If
192.168.0.1 is the master than just DEFINE it to be so on the others -
always.
Default Gateway ALWAYS = 192.168.0.1
and make sure all domain names are the same / use MSHOME.NET
