As far as the DSL modem goes, no. Check eBay; that's where
I got mine. I can't say I know a lot about ICS, but if history is
anything to go by, Micros~1 usually uses something standard, but
changes it ever so slightly as to make it incompatible with anything
non-windoze. Embrace and extend, they say. In order for ICS to
work with ISP's, it would have to be some form of NAT. If you could
give me more info about your network, like addresses, masks, dns
addresses, gateway's, etc, I could at least take a swing at it. I tried
to set up a friend's computers about two years ago, but I never was
able to get his wife's mac to work with ICS, which is why I suspect
that Micros~1's version of NAT is "extended".
