A question on Internet sharing using Windows 2000.

I have two NICs. One is connected directly to the modem and the other one to the hub. The one connected to the hub has a private static IP. All of the computers in the network has a private static IP. How can I activate the internet sharing in Windows 2000?

Do I just go to the sharing tab of the network card that has the static IP and activate sharing?
 
urhmmmmmmmm... i am guessing that you have a dialup modem (just because I am not certain to do with dsl/cable/t1/e1/e3/atm/oc-12/oc-3/oc-c48/adsl/isdn/dual isdn, but they might work the same way)

to share access of internet all you have to do is go to dial up networking (start/settings/dial up networkig (I thinkg or My computer/dialup in win98,95)) and right click on your connection.
go to properties. go to the far right tab and pick share internet connection and then you have to setup what ports (lazy butts like me just did all ports open to test first and make sure it worked, then I went back and did port by port what I needed).
I haven't worked with windows 2000 in a few months because I just got my linux ftp/telnet/samba thing working and it puurrrrrrssssss !! linux is GREAT! much more fun than point click point click (i am reffering to the command line, i am not a person for x windows (kde, gnome, etc).

but anyways.

email me if you don't figure it out or get it working. I have a book at home and I will type the information out that you need 🙂

You have two options ICS and Remote Routing. (I like remote routing because it's a lot more flexible) ICS is easier to setup and use. Do what trend says. And make sure you have your other computers on your network setup to receive dhcp requests. ICS will only work with the 192.168.x.x range of ip's. (Remote routing let's you set your own ip addresses, and since I like 10.x.x.x ip's I use Remote Routing).

Hope this helps... If not update us on your status...
 
On the card connected to the modem is the one you want to enable ICS. Then it will change your secon NIC to 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
Set all your others to auto or use that IP range. Use the 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 as your defualt gateway if you want to assign the IPS static.
 
Thanks for the replies. IP routing seems interesting. Where can I get more info on how to do IP routing in Windows 2000?
 
Believe it or not the Windows 2000 help section is probably the best place. That's all I used, and you can half way figure it out on your own. But definitely use the help.
 
I have Routing setup on my ISDN line. It works great. I would recommed that as well. Good call SOHO.

ICS is really easy to use and if you are going to only share those two then that might be easier for you to use. Setting up remote routing can be a little confusing if you are not up on your IP scheme.

Good luck
 
i need to do the same thing as isos is asking, but with a cable modem, this remote routing?? is that native to windows 2ooo? hmm, not as hardware easy as a linux router, but then i dont have to learn new os nor do i have to pull a spare pc out of my nose to set it up on.. . .please drop a little more info on remote routing?
