Please help, need network settings

[Disarray]

Ok, I am trying to setup my network to share an internet connection. I have 3 computers, a Windows 2000 Server, Windows 2000 Pro, and a Linux machine as well. My server has 3 NIC cards, one for my DSL connection, one for my Windows 2000 Pro machine, and the third for my Linux machine. When I setup ICS on the DSL connection, it will only let me share with one NIC card. I have tried running NAT as well, but it too only allows for one NIC connection. Is there any way to configure NAT or ICS to share with both machines at the same time, or do I need to purchase a Hub. What about configuring my server as a proxy server, would that do it. I would appriciate any help or suggestions. Thanks in advance....

With what you have invested so far.
I'd opt for a Hub .
I have an 8 port hub and share internet, printer server, and Local printers with no hassle
Also only requires 1 NIC per system.

I'm also a firm believer in KISS

I could buy a hub but I refuse to pay money when there is another alternative, besides the Navy doesn't well. I know there is a way and I'm pretty sure it lies in the NAT routing table. Anyone out there a routing table guru. By the way ZeroCool, I'm not trying to sound smart or make anyone feel ignorant with acronyms, it just really saves time/space, plus I figured anyone that could help me would know what they stand for.

NAT=Network address translation
ICS=Internet connection sharing
NIC=Network interface card
DSL=Digital subscribed line

Are you using the "setting up a router with network address translation...." option in the RRAS setup wizard?


That option should support a server connected to more than 2 networks.
