miku 0 Posted July 11, 2001 Hi Guys, I have two computers with Windows 2000 Pro. One is the server with two NIC and other with a single NIC. I have turned ICS on. The internet, email works fine. But when it comes to MSN Messenger, Netmeeting, Phone Dialer, only the server can receive call but the workstation cannot. How can I accomplish that the other computer also works.

HELLBRINGER 0 Posted July 11, 2001 Tell those individual programs you are using that the internet connection is always avaliable or on a LAN... I think that will do it. Share this post Link to post
miku 0 Posted July 12, 2001 For Example, how can I tell MSN Messenger or even Netmeeting that. They are configuration like that. ARC Share this post Link to post
Ekstreme 0 Posted July 12, 2001 I'm not 100% sure here, but I think you go to the shared connection properties, and then add 'I think' under services. Add the ports and the machine name you want to allow to use this service. Couldn't tell you what ports you'll need though, you'll have to find that out elsewhere. I had to do this to allow IRC DCC working on outgoing. Share this post Link to post
kgeissler 0 Posted July 12, 2001 I was never able to get any port mappings to work correctly on ICS. So I just gave up and got Sygate. It does a great job, and a lot more stable. Share this post Link to post
miku 0 Posted July 12, 2001 So how did you use it for Mirc DCC. I would like to know how to configure that. That will give me atleast a start. Thanks Share this post Link to post
HELLBRINGER 0 Posted July 13, 2001 Well from my expierence. If you do it right, once you tell Internet Explorer your internet is on a LAN EVERYTHING should be able to access the internet without question. That's because Internet Explorer is WIndows! It's a part of it so it all works together. That is how it worked for me, and it has worked very well. Share this post Link to post
Ekstreme 0 Posted July 13, 2001 miku I'll get back to you later on it, I don;t have ICS isntalled any mroe so I'll ahve to go check out a mates setup Share this post Link to post
Ekstreme 0 Posted July 14, 2001 I can't get around to my mates house, so bear with me, this is coming off the top of my head.... Okies, first step is to open up each IRC client on your network and goto the DCC options. Set a reasonable port range for the DCC to be sent. I have 5 ports for each machine starting from 5550 and going upwards. so your first and last ports would be 5550 & 5554. Next you configure ICS to allow these ports.... Go to the sharing tab for you connection and I think you need to select advanced of somehting, but you'll need to find it, cause I can't really remember. Then you need to find where you can add services. 'I think' From memory, there are 2 options, but you're after services. Then this is just a simple matter of going through and adding each port that you have allocated in the IRC client... Give the service a name eg. DCC port number, eg. 5550 and name - This is the netbios name (or computer name as some know it) of the machine you want to use this port. Each machine must have it's own port range set and be configured to use it. Make sure you select TCP NOT UDP also Once you have added all the ports required and the names of the corresponding machines, you should be good to go. It will warn you to re-dial the connection for changes to take effect, but I don't think you have to. If it doesn't work, just redial adn try again. Hope this isn't too confusing, if anyone has any questions, email or ICQ me and I'll see what I can do to help ya out Share this post Link to post
