Question : Windows 2000 - share Dialup connection to 2 NICs

Hello all,

I use an old PC (running Windows 2000 Pro) as gateway to the internet. This machine has an ISDN card, and a NIC which connects to my other computer.

Now I want to connect a second PC to the network, and this is where the trouble starts: How do I tell the gateway to provide internet connection to BOTH NICs, including routing from one to the other..

I couldn't find any information on this so far. Can anyone give me a hint?

Best greetings

I believe only Windows 2000 server can route traffic as ICS is limited to two interfaces.

You will need to either:

1/. Load Windows 2000 server and implement RRAS.

2/. Obtain a third party program to do your routing like Winroute.

3/. Buy a hub.

Hub/switch is most likely the cheapest. :)
