Configuring Static IP Addresses for the Public Interface Requires Changing the Internet Connection Sharing Adapter (261341)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition
This article was previously published under Q261341 SYMPTOMS
Under Network Properties in Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition, when you change the static TCP/IP entries for TCP/IP binding that points to the external network adapter and connects to the Internet, you must also change the TCP/IP binding for the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) Adapter.
RESOLUTION
Add the same static IP settings to the TCP/IP binding of the Internet Connection Sharing Adapter. To do this, follow these steps: - Right-click the My Network Places icon.
- Click Properties.
- Double-click the binding of the TCP/IP, and then click Internet Connection Sharing Adapter.
- Add the required TCP/IP entries assigned to you by your Internet service provider or the system administrator.
- Click OK.
WORKAROUND
The issue described in the "Symptoms" section can be prevented by modifying only the TCP/IP ICS component in Network Properties. This binding takes precedence over the TCP/IP (Shared) component.
