Hello all,

There is a subnetwork for which I'd like to use Microsoft's Internet
Connection Sharing (ICS) with a third-party firewall. Everything works
fine except for a little issue with IPNAT.SYS. I don't know how to
force it to load at startup. Currently, if the gateway computer has
been turned off, I have to manually turn off the third-party firewall,
open any external web page with some other computer in the subnetwork
(so that ipnat loads) and turn the firewall on again.

Does anybody some way to load ipnat.sys at startup? Another thing that
might help is some way to load ipnat from the gateway computer without
requesting a web page from another computer.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hector C.
