Network in a box software
This is a discussion about Network in a box software in the Windows Networking category; I just picked up a dlink, network in a box, and it works fine. Both computers can use the internet and see each other and browse through shared files/folders. My problem is the Internet Connection Sharing Software that came with it (midpoint).
I just picked up a dlink, network in a box, and it works fine. Both computers can use the internet and see each other and browse through shared files/folders. My problem is the Internet Connection Sharing Software that came with it (midpoint). So far I can not play any Lan games TCP/IP due to the settings of midpoint and I am not "smart" enough to figure out what ports need to be opened and where it goes..yada yada yada. I have 2 basic questions - 1) is there a way to simply open all ports or 2) does the w2k ICS have the same problem of making you identify ports to open. If not, I can always scrap midpoint in favor of ICS. Any help is appreciated.

The Win2K ICS doesn't have any problems with ports.
You just share a DUN connection and that's it.
There are some advanced features that you can set for various bits and bobs, but you probably won't have to use them.
Give it a go and see how you get on.
I will admit that my second PC is a Win98 SE machine, and it shares the connection from my main Win2K PC. I have used the second PC for general web-browsing and IRC, and they have both performed flawlessly.
