They don't sound like they'd work on your ADSL connection, I never saw one you need to connect to like dial-up.
Yes you will need a 2nd NIC to share.

Try getting a program called WinRoute, it does the same thing as ICS, just with a lot less hassle. As for the fatal error, remove and reinstall you network card and yout tcp/ip. That should take care of it.

I have a problem with the ICS. It used to work fine (after a lot of messing around so long ago, that I don't remember what I did to get it working), but after I got a new mobo and reinstalled Windows (on the host), I couldn't get it to run again.
Yesterday I tried again, and let ICS create the "Client Configuration Disk". I ran it, on a "client" (using Win95 OSR2), and even though it's only supposed to configure the browser (as far as I know), it totally messed up my TCP/IP. When I do a ping on the client (even to 127.0.0.1) I get this message: "transmit failed, error code 10091". And when I run WINIPCFG: "Fatal Error! Cannot read IP configuration!"
Everything in the Network settings should be configured correctly.
*****
When this happens, TCP/IP is not installed correctly or the netcard soft/hardware is wrong/bad
Check the TCP/IP properties.
goto the DOS window and type ipconfig /all
tell us what you see there... exactly
with this info, maybe someone can help

I would still have to have some kind of host PC running. As little as I know about routers, I thought they only work if you have a network connection.

The computer has Win95 OSR2, it doesn't seem to have the ipconfig thing.
Anyway, I'll upgrade that PC pretty soon. All I need is a new case and some SDRAM, I already have a better psu, mobo, cpu and video card to put in there. So I'll not even try to fix it until then, cause then I'll have to reinstall Windows anyway.
Look at the Linksys single port model. Add a cheap hub for $10 or $15. USD. ICS is allright, but not really reliable and doesn't provide any security from being hacked. Also the Linksys supports PPPoEQuote:

SMC Barricade 4*10/100+1WAN,ADSL/Cable Modem Router - about 250 USD (would that work with the ADSL? The ADSL uses PPPoE and it requires a program to "connect")
I don't have a credit card so ordering online is a hassle and shipping to here is not cheap. So finding a better price on the internet will probably not turn out much that much better.
Why should I spend that much when I only have 2-3 computers in the LAN and ICS can do it for free? (once I get it working again)
The host PC would be on most of the time anyway, but yes actually it would be a big plus if it wouldn't have to be and I wouldn't have to worry about the host restarting/crashing. That's the only plus I can see and I don't think it's worth the price for me. Only the host + 1 client is going to *actively* use the Internet anyway.

Cheap HUB's don't seem to be so good. I've had one for less than a year, and already 2 out of 5 ports are not working.

I picked up a used SMC 8port 10baseT hub two or three years ago and it still works great. Of course I don't use it anymore. I aquired a Cisco 8port 10/100 https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif
Any one in the SF area need a 10baseT hub ?
