There are some severe disadvantages to using ICS. Here's just two of them... 1. Extreme slow down. Many 56K modem users feel lucky when they connect at speeds in the 40+K range. With two computers sharing a connection they each will be luck to see 20+K connection rates. 2. The computer hosting the internet connection MUST be turned on whenever the other computer wants to use the Internet. For these two reasons I would suggest each computer have their own connection and the users take turns logging on. Don Do YOU want a gmail account invitation?
