Turning Win2k PRO into a ROUTER

[BigDaddy]

Hi all. I've asked this question on other forums but didn't get much help out. SO I'm trying my luck here:

Have a Win2000 PRO PC who has 3 NIC. One NIC is connected to ADSL and the other two NICs are connected to 2computers(WinXP and Win2k PRO) using cross-linked cable!

My question is how must I set it up so there will be ICS and file sharing between the 3computers!!

ps.On Win2k machine which should act as router I've already done this: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_...s/w2kprout.html

But afterwards I have no idea what to do?? So any help would be a very apprecieted!!

Anyone?

Could this be possible with WinRoute, located here: http://www.itwin.com.my/winroute.php

The "proper" way is to install RRAS. But you can use ICS if you really must!

Don't think RRAS is available with Win2K Pro, so ICS would be the only option there.

If not, have you considered buying a small SOHO router? You can find them at many stores for between $30.00-$50.00 US. This will allow you to do what you want, and will also provide a firewall of sorts for your PC's connecting to the Internet.
