When I set ICS on, I lost access to my DSL connection. It's not that big a tragedy. In theory, I should stop the DSL connection anyway when logged into work- it's safer that way. > Then on your LM box run the Control Center > Network and >Internet >>Connection wizard. Set your IP to say 192.168.0.2 (same subnet) and >set the gateway to 192.168.0.1 I'll try this later. If this all works, I'll have automate switching the addresses back and forth somehow. I currently use hardcoded IP addresses in 'hosts' on both boxes. I may need to turn on DHCP. OR I may need to add extra routes dynamically. Anyway, I'll stop rambling.
