If you are connected to a Broadband via Cable or DSL then you can use a cab;e/DSL Router
such as the Linksys BEFSR41. Then you won't need ICS, no't need to uun a ICS client on
Win9x/ME and the WinXP PC does not have to be "on" to share the Internet, the Router will do
this.

In the Router's "advanced" configuration you can set the "Filtered Private IP Range" such
that you can use MS Networking and shre File and Print Services amongst the computers but
those addresses in the "Filtered Private IP Range" will be blocked from accessing the
Internet.

To increase the security of a Router I always suggest blocking both TCP and UDP ports 135 ~
139 and 445 on *any* SOHO Router.

On many Linksys Routers (depending on model version) the port blockage and "Filtered Private
IP Range" is set on the Router at the following URL...
