Internet account on the computer
connection.
• In Internet Explorer* 3.0, select
set up on this computer and do not want to change it.
• In Internet Explorer 4.0, select
Internet. Do not show this wizard again.
• In Internet Explorer 5.0, select
connection manually, or I want to connect through a local area
network (LAN).
Selecting any other option prevents ISS from working properly.
The AnyPoint Internet Sharing Software (ISS) enables all PCs on your
network to access the Internet through one shared connection. Microsoft's
Windows 98 Second Edition has an optional feature, Internet Connection
Sharing (ICS), that provides similar capabilities.
Yes, they can co-exist, but this is not recommended. Select one or the other.
See "How do I decide if I should use ISS or ICS?" on page 56.
If you have only Windows-based PCs on your network, use ISS and leave
ICS uninstalled. ISS provides better status reporting and control of the
shared connection. If you have other devices, such as a Macintosh* or PCs
running other operating systems or VPNs on your network, use ICS.
