Network bridge on 2Kpro?

I currently have the following setup:
I have one network connection (LAN) via a port in the wall. This goes into a machine running 2K pro with 2 NICs. The second NIC goes to another machine, running widnows 98, which can access the interent properly, as well as ICQ and IRC, as the 2K machine is running ICS.
The problem is that this machine running 98 cannot see any game servers on the main LAN except the one that is running on the 2K machine.
I have been told that I could easily correct this problem by putting XP on the server and simply selecting both connections, and clicking 'bridge network', but it is only a 350 with 64 megs of RAM (soon to be 128), so I am not to keen on doing that.
Is there a way to acheive the same thing as this would, but keeping the same operating system (2Kpro) on the server machine?

Thanks for any ideas.

Windows 2000 has the same technology as XP when it comes to routing. If you go into Routing and Remote access, you can bridge the connection.

Thanks for replying.

Is it 'SNMP'? I looked in help (yes, I really have that little idea of what I am doing), and that seemed to be the correct service, but is it?

[edit] And can this method still work even though the non-server machine is running windows 98? [/edit]
