I have 3 computers. I have a router/switch combo, but I don't have a public IP from my ISP to use for it, so I can't use NAT. My router dosen't have an option for it to use DHCP to get an address from my ISP. I want to share internet with all three.If I install Proxy Server, will it work with DHCP from my ISP? If I put 2 nics in the machine, one with an internal address, and the other set to use DHCP from ISP I am thinking I can then point my other machines to it and get internet on them. Thatwould be nice as I can then not only have internet on all 3, but have some training in Proxy Server as well. Would this work? TIA

What operating systems are you using... win2000 has ICS (internet connection sharing) built in??

I am using Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2000 Pro. I would like to use Proxy Server to train for the certification, and plus for the fun of it.

windows 2000 Server has NAT built in.

go to programs --> administrative tools --> routing and remote access. right click your server, click "configure and enable routing and remote acces" select the option to share the internet. Your done.The Proxy server exam will soon be faized out by Microsoft. ISA is thier new proxy server. Learn that instead. PS: Proxy really sucks compared to everything else out in the world. But if you want to use it, it will work.

Using a multihomed PC, put one nic as DHCP, one as Fixed and use RRAS (Routing and Remote access service) or IP MASQ.
