Hi all, new to this forum and need some help...
I am using Win2k at home on DSL with a static IP address. I will be using my computer from a relatives house off and on over the next few months and I'd like to set up a second network connection that can be configured to use ICS with another machine that is running WinXP. I have gotten the ICS to work by changing the IP address and DNS to "obtain automaticly" on my current network connection, but it will get old having to re-enter my IP address for my DSL connection 4 to 5 times a week. I was hoping I could set up 2 different connections and just disable the one that I don't need at the time.
Here's my problem. I got through the Connection Wizard to set up a new LAN connection and when I'm finished, nothing happens. I would try to "create a copy" of the one I do have, but the option is greyed out in the file menu. The wierdest thing is I can't delete the one I currently have and start from scratch. The delete option is greyed out from the right-click menu, and I swear I've done it before when I was first setting up my DSL connection.
I am using the Admin logon. I have NAV, Zone Alarm, and SpyBot installed, but I don't see any options that might be blocking me from modifying the network folder.
Any help would be appreciated.
