satellite USB modem?

[jlr616]

I'm getting ready to set up a network of 2 computers (possibly add more later) in a host/client configuration, using ICS and a hub to connect the 2nd comp. My question is, the satellite modem supposedly has a USB connection (as opposed to the usual ethernet connection). How would I enable ICS sharing in the host computer? The same way I would with an ethernet card? Both computers will be using Windows XP pro. Thanks.

It should work the same way, if you absolutely have to use USB. What's wrong with Ethernet?

It's really my brother's network. He mentioned that he needed one computer to be host/server, and the other comp to connect to the 1st one through a hub, because his satellite modem is a USB modem. I'll have to verify with him again about this.

1. In any case, if it's an USB modem, then can I set up the network ICS through the wizard, or do I need to go into the control panel for that (or are they one and the same)? What about if it's an ethernet?

2. After I build him the 2 computers and set up ICS with my cable (for testing purposes), will he have to reset everything once he receives the computers and connect them to his satellite?
