Thanks, I knew you'd be able to help
Don't I already have ICS on as I have USB Modem -> Main PC -> Switch -> Other PCs?
Could you explain briefly what I need to do to configure ICS to use DHCP?
Also would ICS work with the SC101 connected to the switch or would I need to directly connect it to the PC instead?
Are there any specific routers you'd recommend or would any do what I want? I guess wireless would be better as long as it had at least one ethernet port to connect the SC101 to.
