Hi There,
 
I have my modem on my laptop, and I usually use the ICS in order to surf on my desktop. but for 2 days now, after I did a win2k installation from scratch I am unable to enable the ICS on my Win2KPro machine.
 
the message I am getting is as follows :
 
Error 783: Internet Connection sharing cannot be enabled. The Lan connection
selected as the private network is either not presented or is disconnected from
the network. Please ensure that the LAN adapter is connected before enabling ICS.

My computer is already setted to the internal IP address and I have no problems accessing my desktop from my laptop or vice versa. Only ICS refuses to work.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks,
 
Oren

hello,
 
I just installed ics on my w2k pc/network and it works great so let's see if we can get yours going.
 
first of all, do you have a modem and nic card in your pc that you're trying to install ics? also, you can only have 'pc' on your network that has 'ics' installed as the host. therefore, if your laptop still has ics installed onto it, this will cause a conflict.
 
below is a link that provided me with lots of help concerning ics.
 
good luck,
