OT: Help me with a networking problem **Without buying a switch :P**

upgrade to a 10/100mbps switch, and upgrade client nics to 10/100mbps - problem solved 🙂

move along folks, neffing to see here 😉 hehe.
 
I think you can do this by making the system a multihomed server, the two nics having ip addresses on 2 different subnets, and the server will act as a router between them.
Buying a cheap switch and 3 10/100 network cards would be much easier, however.
 
Buy a switch 😉 Why not move those added nics to the workstations and run the crossover cable between the two workstations instead of through the server?

then do what Geoff said since you're mostly moving between clients.
 
you can put as many NIC's into the windows 2000 server as you want
then just setup routing (Microsoft Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS))
ie turn your W2K server into a router(which makes it equivalent to an X port switch, X being the number of network cards you put into it)
