WTF? Where's the ICS wizard?

I could have sworn win98 had the internet connection sharing wizard on it somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. I have checked under Add/Remove programs > Windows components, and it's just not there! I'm using win98 SE, with the most recent critical updates and crap, but I can't find the wizard anywhere. This is kinda bothering me, so does anyone know where I could find and download it? microsoft.com doesn't seem to work too well.

I just want my secondary computer to be able to share our dsl for a little while.

I have Win98SE on one of my boxes. ICS is listed under Add/Remove Programs --> Windows Setup --> Intenet Tools.

Weird. It's totally not there for me.

You should be able to install it from the original Windows CD.

But the problem with THAT is this computer is an OEM version. It didn't come with a win98 cd, it came with a "system recovery cd".

Meaning you can't use it like a normal win98 cd.

That sucks when they don't include at least the OEM Windows CD and CoA. Unfortunately, I think that ICS is the only part of the SE upgade that is not available as a download (either with IE5 or a Service Pack) from Microsoft. I believe that the cheapest alternative is to buy an upgrade CD. I think they are about $19.95 -- at least they were when SE was released.

Well CRAP.

Ok, well, I tried another gateway software. I guess it'll work, but now it appears my transfer sweep between my computers on the network is SLOW!

Guess I get to start a new thread now.
