Tue W2K Professional Question of the Day

|  Well folks herewith the first question ...
Q1. You wish to configure a small branch office of your company to share the same Internet connection. You have installed Windows 2000 Professional on a computer named "Workstation1" which you will use to share an Internet dial-up connection you are about to install. This is a dial-up connection, settings for which you have been given from your ISP. with the rest of the machines on the network. All of the other machines in the office have Windows 2000 Professional installed and are configured with the default networking settings.
After finishing the install of Windows 2000 Professional on Workstation1, what additional steps must you take to enable all of the computers in the branch office to be connected to the Internet? (Choose all that apply)
A. Install the DNS Server service and configure a forwarder to forward all DNS requests to the same DNS server as the machine sharing the Internet connection.
B. Install the DHCP Server service, configure a scope with a range of internal IP addresses (such as 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.254) and activate the scope.
C. On the Sharing tab for the connection, select the Enable Internet connection sharing for this connection check box.
D. Configure all of the machines in the branch office as DHCP clients.
E. Through Network and Dial-up Connections, install or configure the modem connection.
F. Configure the LAN adapter for the machine sharing the Internet connection with an internal IP address (e.g. 192.168.0.1).
Good Luck .... see you tomorrow for the answer!! | |

| well, i believe it would be c and e; because computers are set up as dhcp client by default
you don't need to set up a dns server
all you have to do is enable connection sharing and configure the modem. that is my final answer...... | |

I would however R-click network places R-click on the ISP connection and uncheck the happy little boxes that say "prompt for username/password" and "prompt for phone #" so it dials automatically from the client machines (you also would have to enable dial on demand under modem properties) | |

You need to select the Sharing check box on the ICS computer, configure all the client machines for automatic IP addressing, and setup the ICS computer to access the internet. (Not necessarily in that order.)

| C and E
the ICS machine acts as a DHCP server and dishes out the IP junk to the rest of the machines on the net who are "configured with the default network settings" or as "DHCP Clients" (same thing).
if you're going to connect to the internet via modem, please configure modem (or DUN).
when you configure a machine to be an ICS machine, ICS configures your NIC with an address. so you don't need to configure the NIC manually... well, unless you don't like the IP ICS gave your NIC. i swear this happened to me when my DSL was down, i manually configured IP on the ICS machine's NIC and it dished out addys based on it's settings... (i think... it's been a while).
but i want to know, were the other machines getting crazy APIPA addys before our little ICS friend came alive? or do you have a DHCP server stashed someplace? | |

And the answer is ....
Correct Answers: C and E
Network and Dial-up Connections provides connectivity between your computer and the Internet, a network, or another computer. To connect to the Internet:
1. Open Network and Dial-up Connections in Control Panel.
2. In the Network and Dial-up Connections dialog box, double-click a connection to configure it or double- click "Make New Connection" to install a connection.
To enable Internet connection sharing on a network connection:
1. Open Network and Dial-up Connections
2. Right-click the dial-up, VPN, or incoming connection you want to share, and then click Properties.
3. On the Sharing tab, select the Enable Internet connection sharing for this connection check box.
The machine doing the Internet connection sharing automatically acts as a DHCP server and a DNS proxy for the internal computers. It auto-configures its LAN adapter with an IP address in the 192.168.x.y range. All Windows 2000 Professional machines are DHCP clients by default. | |

| I tried ICS on my home network. I have a XP laptop w/ a dial-up AOL connection & a 2000 Prof. desktop. I set up the dial-up on the laptop (host) for sharing but can't get the client (client) to connect to the Internet. I have a linksys router & a workgroup network set-up that shares local resources but not the Internet connection. I followed the directions in the Help tutorial, sybex, ms press, & have looked for answers elsewhere but no luck. Any suggestions???
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. | |

don't use AOL. seriously, i don't think it will work. | |
| wbafrank 2002-06-20, 2:45 pm |
| AOL installs it's own software within Windows XP, which will stop, more than one connection. Thus the ICS setup will not work through the AOL connection. Maybe time to consider a new ISP so that your Internet needs can be met.
But I have figured out how to use AOL and ICS with XP, except this is extremely difficult and must be done every time you log on. While dialing up to AOL open up your network connections folder. While AOL is on step 5: talking to network, you will see a connection called 'The Internet' APPEAR. As soon as it appears right click it and quickly go down to properties. You must be quick because otherwise it will disappear as soon as it goes off step 5. While in properties, click 'Show notification in area when connected' then click ok. Refresh your network connections folder, and then you will see a dial up connection called 'The Internet' at 10mbps. You can then configure ICS to use this connection. | |

| Thanks. How in the world does one figure that out? I'm getting DSL service from SBC next week so I'm done w/ AOL. Can i check back w/ ya guy'z if that has ICS issues as well? I'll check tech support(s) prior. | |

That's what we are here for - you don't learn nothing if you don't share it!! |
