Windows XP ICS or other NAT options..

[dawks]

Ok my main box is running an ASUS nForce2 Deluxe (with two network ports). Its running XP Pro, but I need some way to allow my webserver, access to the net VIA it. I doubt it, but is there away to set this up via XP ICS?

Whats a simple alternative to ICS for XP?


Also, a more challenging, but less important question, how can I pull a driver for an older NIC from XP and get it into Server 2003? The card works fine in XP, but I cant get a driver for 2003.
The card is a 3Com 3C509B ISA if that helps anyone. (I know its an old card, but it still works fine)

I'd spend $5 and get a cheapie PCI NIC. ISA is just icky.
Well, I'd probably spend a little more than that and get an Intel card.

Why not get one of those home NAT "router" boxes? They should be easier to work with and quite a bit more powerful than ICS.

Minimal costs, ie, $0!

Ok. Wingate might work (I haven't looked at it in years), but I hate recommending it because it has, in the past, been tough to configure correctly.
