    Resolved [RESOLVED] Moving from Dial-Up (ICS) to Cable Modem

    I have a network (at work) of 4 pc's. One computer (I'll call it "A") accesses the net via a dial-up, the other three (I'll call them "B", "C" and "D") connect through "A" using Internet Connection Sharing (ICS).

    Yesterday we had a cable modem installed from Comcast.

    I connected machines "B", "C" and "D" to the cable modem.

    I thought I would have to run the Network Setup Wizard to connect these to the cable modem but, per the tech's instructions, I just "repaired" the network connection on all three. They all then searched for a new IP and connected to the net through the cable modem with no problem at all.

    I refrained from doing anything to the "A" machine because it is configured to run ICS.

    What, if anything, do I need to do to the "A" machine to de-activate or disable the ICS before connecting it to the cable modem? Should I run the Network Setup Wizard or is there a simpler procedure?

    Thanks in advance.
