Hooray for spam! Oh, and what a rip-off!

Photobucket isn't very reliable. The image-hosting site I use is imageshack.us, and I've never had a single problem reliability-wise.

You say that you need to set a default gateway on the ICS computer in order to chat or use outlook express. Why?You say that you are able to access the internet normally for browsing. In that case your default gateway is already fine, otherwise you wouldn't be able to go outside your network.Just for the sake of it, what is your modem's internal IP, and what are the IPs of both NICs on the ICS comp?And...you are setting the gateway on which computer?

That's both good and bad. Good in that the "known" artists can receive a lot of exposure, and bad in that 1. it's also filled with tons of crap, and 2. there are so many artworks published every minute that unless you have a following, your artwork will immediately fade into oblivion...unless you go suck up to everyone in hopes that some will leave you a cheesy comment.

Just to give an opposing opinion, DA totally sucks. Sure, there are good artists there, but the majority of the works hosted there are crap. I can understand the "oooh wow" factor coming from people on this site; after all, this isn't a graphic artists site. But if you know anything about those type of sites, you will know that that site is a very "low level" site.Even gfxartist, with all the trouble it's gone through recently, is far better than DA. Take a look at, say, eatpoo.com and cgsociety.org and then talk about good art communities.

Erm...the Processes tab perhaps? Depends on what type of info you're after.

Ah no, I'm all Microsoft so if you are using Linux, I can't help you (Mr Gates wouldn't want me to, bless his soul).

Yes, but I believe you need RRAS (Routing and Remote Access) for that (assuming you're using Windows), as you're essentially turning the computer into a router.For the second question, you can configure IP address filtering on the relevant network adapters (i.e. "allow all except *IPs*" or "block all except *IPs*"), and you can do it all from the RRAS console.To get more "Big Brother" on everyone's asses, you'll need ISA server.

1. Yes, that is absolutely possible.2. Aside from hardware/physical restrictions, there is no maximum amount AFAIK.3. I don't really know, but I'm sure I can come up with an answer to any problem.@Yordan: your answer to point 1 isn't correct; they do not require any particular mask. In reply to point one, all you have to do is physically attach the NIC to the relevant network, assign it an IP address from the relevant network's scope (and of course whatever subnet mask the network is using), and you're good to go.

Try posting a HijackThis log, as I'm quite sure the cause is some sort of malware.

Just thought I'd point out that the original (twitch's) post has grammatical errors aplenty. Just saying...

Rock! Well actually metal, but there isn't an option for that.

Depends on the size and complexity of your network. For a normal sized network, RIPv2 should suffice.

One possibility (but I'm not sure this would work, you'd have to try it) would be to do it like this:(We'll call the two ICS comps ICSdsl and ICScable)Get all your "normal" client computers and assign them all static IP addresses, starting from 192.168.0.2, 192.168.0.3, 192.168.0.4, etc.Assign the other three clients IPs starting from 192.168.0.101 (just to avoid confusion).Give all the normal clients a default gateway of 192.168.0.1, but for the three clients that shouldn't access the DSL connection, give them a default gateway of 192.168.0.100.All the clients should have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.All the clients should have their respective default gateway as their preferred DNS server. IOW, assign the normal clients a preferred DNS server address of 192.168.0.1, and for the other three clients, give them the 192.168.0.100.Enable ICS on first ICSdsl and then ICScable. Then open the TCP/IP properties for the internal NIC (the one that will do the sharing - the one that has the 192.168.0.1 IP) of ICScable, and assign it an IP address of 192.168.0.100.When you enable ICS on ICScable, you will likely get an error msg that says "There is an IP address conflict". It should go away when you change the IP address to 192.168.0.100And that's about that. Obviously you could have problems with any other devices you attach that use a dynamic IP; you'd also have to configure them statically, or else you will get IP conflicts (two DHCP servers handing out same IPs).Let me know how you get on.
