How do I make ICF (Internet Connection Firewall) let me share files with networked PCs?
(WinXP) You should only set up ICF through one computer’s Internet connection. That may sound obvious, but it means ICF is not intended for use with networks that connect to the Internet through a router connected to a DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) or cable modem. ICF is intended for use on a computer that shares its Internet connection with the other computers on the network via ICS (Internet Connection Sharing). If you’ve set up ICF in a network that connects through a router, first configure the firewall in your router to protect your network and then disable ICF. If you are using ICS, your computer will have two network connections: one for the Internet connection and one for the internal network connection.
