i have a phone line network and an ethernet network, the phone line runs out to the garage where i have 3 computers that i want to hook up through ethernet and have one of them be a bridge. I know this is possible in XP i read it here, but i want to know if there is a way to do this in 2k. I dont feel like going out and buying ANOTHER ethernet2phoneline bridge (100$) or upgrading to XP, i already have enough ethernet nics and cables and i have 1 phoneline nic, so if i can get this to work i would be spending no money.
[EDIT 1] I tried this a couple days ago with 2 of them and i could get them to see each other and the one with the phoneline nic could hit the internet, and see the computers in the house, but the other one could only see the one it was directly hooked up to and nothing else.
[EDIT 2] In the house i have a DSL Modem, a DSL router (ethernet), a Ethernet 2 Phone line bridge, and an Ethernet 2 Wireless access point. So I have spent more than enough on all this networking and i dont feel like spending 100$ more for another bridge.
