    Hey all..
    If I have a cable modem running into a xp pro box,want to share it with another "w2k server" and dont have a router what could I do?
    Both have a nic card..Should I add another nic to the xp box then run it from there to the w2k box..by using internet sharing or something along those lines. Pay alot for my connection and my isp told me I need their hardware, more $ to make it work. blah to them.
    Thanks
