I have a Windows 2000 Pro computer with Internet Connection Sharing, which I use as a NAT server for other computers to connect to the internet. It works fine, every machine I hook up to it will connect to the internet by setting the network preferences to configure using DHCP.

However, I can never get this to work with OS 10.1.5. (actually OS 10.0 -10.1.5)
Every other operating system connects and works without a problem. Including OS 10.2, OS 10.3, OS 9.x, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows 95, and Windows NT4.

I have tested this on multiple different computers running OS 10.1.5. All clean installs and none of them work. I have even applied the Networking Update 1.0 for OS 10.1.5, with no luck.

If said OS 10.1.5 computer is connected to a hardware router it works perfectly fine. But if I connect it to Windows 2000 ICS it will not get assigned an IP address.

Does anyone know what up with OS 10.1, and how it can be made to work?

Wow... does the Windows computer have all of its updates?

Yep, it is a fully patched Windows 2000 computer. Same problem occures with or without a firewall.

"Wooooooosh"

The sound of Detrius' humor going over the OP's head.

I wouldn't give my right arm... I couldn't do without it. I would give my left arm, though.
