    Like what?Sorry Im not too hot on this stuff.

    I have followed the ICS guide off xbox.com.Im on Windows98SE and have a Zyxel Prestige 630 USB modem(supplied by IOL).

    To I need to manually type the DNS servers into the network settings on the xbox?

    Yes you probably will have to do that as I doubt the Xbox will be able to detect them from your ICS connection, although I'm not that familar with ICS.

    For IOL BB the DNS settings are primary 194.125.2.240 and secondary 194.125.2.241

    I don't know. Have you looked at www.xbox.com/connect for details? I found this info which may be of use...

    Windows 98 Second Edition


    For Windows 98 SE, you must install ICS software from the installation disc before setting up Internet sharing.

    Installing ICS
    From the Start menu, choose Settings>Control Panel.

    Double-click Add/Remove Programs and click Windows Setup tab.

    On the list of programs, select Internet Tools and click Details.

    Select Internet Connection Sharing and click OK.

    When prompted, insert the Installation disc.
    The Internet Connection Sharing Wizard appears.
    Enabling ICS
    Click Next and select the Network adapter you want for your Internet connection.

    Click Next. When the "Insert Disk" dialog box appears, click Cancel.
    This Client configuration disk is not necessary for the Xbox network connection.

    Click Cancel and then click Finish.

    Restart your computer.
    Verifying ICS
    Choose Start>Settings.

    Right-click Network Neighborhood.
    Internet Connection Sharing is listed several times.

    Select TCP/IP (Home) and click Properties.
    The IP address 192.168.0.1 should be automatically entered.
