    ICS...

    Hi MikeKea

    i asked a similar question not so long ago and was given this link to an ICS guide, I can think of no reason it shouldn't work with wireless cards. ICS is not dependant on a router.

    Yes, it will work. You'll need to configure the wireless cards to communicate in Ad-hoc mode. Windows 98 doesn't have built-in support for wireless networking so you'll need to use the software provided by the manufacturer that came with the wireless card. Then enable ICS on the host computer. For more details, see the following link.

    It's hard to say how to configure the card without knowing the make and model of the wireless network card you have. Did you run the CD that came with the wireless network card? What is the make and model?
