I had to install a new hard drive and reinstall Win2000 Pro. I have two Network Interface Cards one for a local connection & one for a Broadband (Cable) connection. On the old Hard Drive I was able to get the Internet Sharing Connection to work but on the new one I cannot.
I have tried everything I know but I keep on getting error messages when I try to enable that option.

Any help would be great.

Thank you

THis is total bs. I did go into the help & did what it said to do. If that worked I wouldn't have bothered you. What kind of respojse this this with broken english and abbrevations you can't understand?

Maybe someone else that knows what they are talking about will be able to help. Probably not though

Most cable modems will hold the MAC address of the first NIC they are connected too and the modem might need a reset to pick up the new NIC address, that is unless you are using the same NIC for the connection. If that fails try removing the NIC's and starting from scratch, his is sometimes quicker than trying to nit pick what you missed.

Hope this has been helpful.

If not I'll get the rope *sob
