So I need to enable ICS for the LAN connection, correct? I'm not sure I'm
going through the right procedure. Here's what I've tried:

* Open "Network Connections" dialog.
* Right-click on the LAN connection and click on "Properties"
* Click on the "Advanced" tab
* Check the box labelled "Allow other network users to connect through this
computer's internet connection"

And here's where the problem arises. In the pull-down box labelled "Home
networking connection", an option for the incoming connection is not present.
I have options for the VPN I use (to connect to other computers over the
internet) and the wireless network connection (802.11g), but nothing for the
dial-up. Yet the dialog won't close unless I select one of the items.

Thank you for your help.

I don't have a machine to test this on now, my wife hates it when I use her PC for testing and her
PC has the modem attached to it with FAX service all setup, but have you tried creating the incoming
connection first then enabling ICS?

Yep. But I haven't tried establishing the incoming connection (that is,
actually dialling up) before trying to enable the ICS. Perhaps because the
connection is technically absent it is not given as an option.

I did read somewhere on Microsoft's site that you couldn't bridge the
incoming dial-up with other connections. This being the case, I wonder if
ICS will indeed to the job I'm trying to get it to do. And I'm also not
certain of what my LAN will do when my card tries to claim the 192.168.0.1
address that is forced upon it by ICS.

Are you aware of any "software" bridges (eg firewalls, perhaps) that would
accomplish this task?

Thanks again.
