Thanx for suggestion. Best reason for me not to invest in hub/switch/router is to save money and i can get some os'es from MSDNAA for free :) Also ill set up a web server based on apache on that box so i think it would be great solution to just put 2 cards into one PC and dont use any additional equipment.<br />
<br />
I know that win2003 server have such functionality but my hardware is a bit old.<br />
<br />
Anyway some suggestion about setting up bridge on win2k?

Hi<br />
<br />
I need some expert to tell me how to share connection between one windows2000 professional machine and two WinXP.<br />
<br />
win2000 is server (dial up internet connection) with two NIC. one NIC is connected to one XP computer, second to another XP.<br />
<br />
I need to do this standard windows way (eg. through system tools), using NAT, no proxies, etc.<br />
<br />
The main problem is that i can't set two network cards to ICS.<br />
<br />
SERVER<br />
| [NIC1] &lt;-----------------&gt; [NIC3] CLIENT1<br />
| [NIC2] &lt;-----------------&gt; [NIC4] CLIENT2<br />
| [USB] &lt;------------------&gt; ADSL MODEM<br />
<br />
i can't use hardware hub/switches<br />
<br />
Thanx in advande :)

Connection Sharing under Win2000 professional

Networking hardware includes the physical devices facilitating the use of a computer network. Typically, networking hardware includes gateways, routers, network bridges, modems, wireless access points, networking cables, line drivers, switches, hubs, and repeaters. But it also includes hybrid network devices such as multilayer switches, protocol converters, bridge routers, proxy servers, firewalls, network address translators, multiplexers, network interface controllers, wireless network interface controllers, ISDN terminal adapters and other related hardware.

Networking Hardware-Other

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
