Hi, Justin!

Who knows? :)

Few additional questions:
1. What is the protocol you uses for NW? IPX/SPX, NWIP, or something else?
2. Do you know what does ICS do?
3. What NW client do you use? MS' or Novell's?


ICS is the simple proxy-server, and it may (and IMHO should) be replaced with 
another proxy.

I haven't tried NWIP, only IPX and I had have no any troubles. But I did not 
used winblows built-in ICS. I prefer to use 3rd-party proxies. The freeware 
ProxyI (www.analogx.com) worked (and works) perfectly without any network 
conflict.

AnalogX Proxy is designed to be simple, small, and easy to use.  It currently
only supports the following protocols:

HTTP    (web browsers)
HTTPS   (secure web browsers)
SOCKS4  (TCP proxying)
SOCKS4a (TCP proxy w/ DNS lookups)
SOCKS5  (partial support, no UDP)
NNTP    (usenet newsgroups)
POP3    (receiving email)
SMTP    (sending email)
FTP     (file transfers)

Aren't these protocols enough for your needs?

AnalogX guys updating their products frequently and their products are free and 
handy. Try it!

Or buy something like WinGate, WinProxy and so on.

WBW,
Serg

p.s. Also, your situation may be a part of BGates' marketing FUD policy. :-(
