I have a Windows 2000 box that is connected to a Server 2003 domain. The sole purpose of this network is to host a database.

I want the Windows 2000 box to have Internet access, as well. Is there a way that I can have another NIC (wireless or wired) in the Windows box to get Internet access?

I do not want to run the Internet through the Server 2003 box.

Any ideas?

Just put another network card in the 2000 box. The NIC that connects to the server should not have a default gateway, while the one with internet should.

If this is for work get permission first.

Thanks. I'll take a look at the network settings and see what is what. It is for a friend who is trying to set up some db application and wants to be able to email people while working on it.
