Hey everyone, I never said thanks for all the replies to my question. ...only six years late: thanks! -Caleb

Wow, 6 months later the topic is reborn =) Yes, thats where I got the info to setup the internet sharing was the win2k help file. I have a static IP. The problem still exists- every 2 days or so I have to disable & re-enable the ics NIC. Annoying, but easier than a third-party program Cheers, -Caleb

I tried Steve09's suggestion. The internet sharing will work ok, but the exact same problem still! SHS: That makes sense. I just wasnt' sure what to put in on my roommates computer as far as DNS & Gateway so I put the ISP stuff in. There's probably a conflict because too many computers are trying to access the gateway & dns at the same time. I'll let you know if it works! -Caleb

Ok, I'm not usign DHCP, and I'll just give you the networking info without giving my IP & Gateway for all to see =) My computer: (Has the DSL) DSL Ethernet Card (in my computer) IP: My IP Subnet: Subnet my ISP gave me Gateway: My ISP's gateway DNS: DNS my ISP gave me Ethernet card sharing the conenction (in my computer: IP: 192.168.0.1 (Reserverd for local networks, microsoft recommends) Subnet: 255.255.255.0 (Also recomended) Default Gateway & DNS are the same as what my ISP gave me. Ok, now for my roommate's computer: His IP address is 1 higher than that of the ethernet card sharing the connection ==> 192.168.0.2. Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gatway 19.168.0.1 (since thats the IP of the card sharing the connection) DNS: Same as my ISP. Again, it works perfectly Even Halflife, Diablo, and other games that verify your IP work perfectly. The only thing that is strange is that I must UNSHARE the connection, apply that. RESHARE the connection, apply that. Then go into my shared netcard and retype in my ISP's gateway (it gets reset to 0.0.0.0) This is very reproducible, and neccesary every time. Any thoughts? -Caleb

I thought I'd let you guys know that I succesfully setup my ADSL connection so my roommate can use it as well. I do have a question at the end as well- I set it up by installing two network cards (I have a ton of ISA ethernet cards, but for some reason, I could not get two to work, so I bought a PCI card, and both would work. Even with free resources, I'd get the error that one of the cards failed to start properly) The ADSL connection goes into one, and I have a crossover cable going from my comptuer right to the other (a hub crosses over the cable for you) I clicked the 'share this internet connection' box for the first card, which automatically setup an IP and subnet mask for the other card. Then I put in the gateway and DNS for my ISP. On my roommate's computer, I put in the IP address on the second adpater as HIS gateway, and our ISP's DNS, and the subnet mask that the second adapter used. For his IP address, I added 1 to the gatway (192.168.0.2). Everything worked great! Now for my question... (for those of you still with me) If I restart my computer, I have no internet functionality, nor does he. If I go and unshare the internet connection, apply, reshare the internet connection, go back to the second ethernet adapter, and repunch in the correct gateway, it works again. This is just a pain to do every time I reset the computer!! Any ideas? -Caleb [This message has been edited by calebb (edited 08 November 1999).]

I have the same problem- WSAECONNRESET. So do all the friends that try to serve a game under Win2K. The easiest fix seems to be to just JOIN in a WON game. If you're worried about lag, or other people, theres LOTS of dedicated servers out there that never have anyone in them! -Caleb

Same deal here... Voodoo3-3000 (and a 2000), SB PCI-128. Driver crashes as soon as I try to open it. No error message either... -Caleb

Yeah, you can get it at: http://premium.microsoft.com/directx You need to be a registered beta tester though. I'm not sure if the final DX7 for win2k will be released before win2k is final. -Caleb

Docster: I use Gary Peterson's Voodoo 3 overclocker Version 3.0. It adds a tab under Display properties/settings/advanced.

I have a V3 3000 and a V3 2000. The 2000 has Hyundai memory, the 3000 has Siemens memory. v3-2000 v3-3000 Win98 185MHz 182MHz Win2k: 167MHz 175MHz (Using a Heatsink sandwich on both cards.)
