Hey ppl!
i am new here so let me fill you in on my problem!
I have winwows 2000 and my clients have windows XP and 2000 both....i want to share my cablen internet to the clients....
Can you pls tell me the procedure to do that..
because previously i had Win XP and all i had to do was run the network wizard and Vola!
but now i do not know how to share my connection on Windows 2000...

I have tried to run Proxy Plus! but the speed on the client is very slow copared to the server and secondly MSN does not work on the client...

I would really appreciate if any one would help me in this regard....internet sharing and especially MSN to work on my clients with out the use of any prxy servers or any tools!

thankx....

Regards

Xeeshan

Hey Guyz!
Well i finnaly got my way round the Win 200 Net sharing...
i used the ICS option from the properties of my Connection....but the key thing that i think was most Important was to enable internet connection sharing on the client PC as well by the control panle -> administrative -> services -> Internet connection sharing
and right clicking it and starting it up!
and changing the status from manual to automatic....

Well this totally worked for me!
nyways....

would it not have been easier and better to simply use a router?
