If you cannot get ICS Internet Connection Sharing to work then try anologx.com and download their free proxy server. It works great.

I just set it up in a computer lab for the local Christian School. 8 systems all online with no trouble what so ever.

I guess the question here is how is your cable modem connected to your system? USB or NIC? If it's USB you want to share that connection using ICS or the proxy. Either way it should work.

But just plugging them into the hub wont do it.

JFYI: ICS is not a proxy. it's a nat router.

A friend used ICS at first on his machines but it was crappy
He now uses two NICs in one machine and the analogX proxy
no HUB though , he uses BNC NICs (except the one to the ADSL modem)
BNC is not bad for home use and one doesn't need a HUB.

What made it "crappy"? Our nat router uses it and I get 10 extra kbps then I did with my internal pci dsl modem.

Im wondering is there any program like proxy which will let two machines access the internet through an NIC hub?  Thanks.

Why the InternetConnectionSharing was crappy
have to ask him he just said so and went through
the trouble to add a NIC
also internal modems tend to increase the cpu load

The sharing  need to be betwix cable modem and hub

I still belive a third machine is the best solution
a old 486 with and two old ISA 3Com NICS one
can get for just a few bucks and the floppyfw is free
doesn't take much power (no monitor needed no HDD running)
just leave it on and stay connected its a firewall and router
the rest of your network connects as usual and is not
seen on the outside.
