Interent sharing on a domain

[baymab]

how do i use internet sharing to connect 4 computers on a domain network. The PDC is a windows 2000 server, the internet dial up connection is on a windows xp professional PC and IP adresses are given out to all client pcs through DHCP running from the PDC which is a windows 2000 server machine (it does not have a modem or internet connection). Pls help me if you can resolve this problem

i think you'll find that windows XP to be a dialup computer in that way needs also to assign the other computers with IP addresses through DCHP. the PDC should be stopped from assigning IP addresses, and then you set each of the PC's internet connection settings to "never dial a connection" and under LAN settings you make sure NOTHING is checked, not even "automatically detect settigngs".

.......but beware if you decide to upgrade to a broadband connection - some providers will charge more for what they see as a business installation!
