Internet Connection Sharing

Dear all,

I've 3 ethernet adapter on one of my pc. This pc serve as a host pc.
I've a fixed IP start with 219.x.x.x

Adapter 1 : I configured it to IP (Internet) : 219.x.x.x in order to connect to my broadband service.
Adapter 2. I configured it to IP (LAN): 192.168.1.xxx
Adapter 3 : I configured it to IP(DMZ) : 192.168.2.xxx

How do i enable Internet Connection Sharing to let Adapter 2 & Adapter 3 get the internet connection.

Thanks.

Yes, I know how to enable ICS from Adapter 1 ( internet ).
But i only can enable ICS to one adapter at a time, meaning If i enable ICS on Adapter 1 to Adapter 2. Then, My Adapter 3, would not get the internet connection or vice versa.

You can try this, but I don't think Windows can do this natively. Server might, using NAT as opposed to ICS, but not under XP/2KPro

What OS are you on?

If XP you need to bridge the connections 2 and 3 - this will give you an additional adpater in Network connetions called "Network Bridge".

stan: the way you have set it up it likely will hit rocks, as one inside adapter needs to be in the 192.168.0.0 network:

>> When you turn on Internet Connection Sharing on the host computer, the host computer's LAN adapter is automatically assigned the IP address of 192.168.0.1. <<
( from http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306126&sd=tech )

How it can be made to work with two inside NICs I have no clue, but would not trust MS to have built such capabilities into their products. Maybe with ideas mentioned above you will have some luck, but why do you not take some basic linux box and run that one as your router?
