SYMPTOMS
Under Network Properties in Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition, when you change the static TCP/IP entries for TCP/IP binding that points to the external network adapter and connects to the Internet, you must also change the TCP/IP binding for the Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) Adapter.



RESOLUTION
Add the same static IP settings to the TCP/IP binding of the Internet Connection Sharing Adapter. To do this, follow these steps:


 * 1) Right-click the My Network Places icon.
 * 2) Click Properties.
 * 3) Double-click the binding of the TCP/IP, and then click Internet Connection Sharing Adapter.
 * 4) Add the required TCP/IP entries assigned to you by your Internet service provider or the system administrator.
 * 5) Click OK.



WORKAROUND
The issue described in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section can be prevented by modifying only the TCP/IP ICS component in Network Properties. This binding takes precedence over the TCP/IP (Shared) component.
