really i don't know why & i don't know what does that mean either ... but i guess there r some differences between XP and SERVER-2003 which i use i hope that any member using win 2k3 enterprise can check his services and tell us if he has the same or not. a friend told me that i can use the built-in ROUTUNG/REMOTE ACCESS server instead of ICS, but i don't know where to find it or how to configure ,, any ideas about that alternate solution?!
