Internet sharing on W2k server?????

by karl . Updated 24 years, 5 months ago

This problem is driiving me insane..PLEASE HELP..
I have a W2k server acting as a domain controller for 6 users, realy no more than a file server. I want the users to be able to share a single ISDN connection from this server.
So, I installed Wingate Pro, set it up and it worked for a while BUT it random dial. Contacted Deerfield (support) and they said it was a DNS issue..anyhow it still does not work.
So, I read through the Q&A here and heard of ICS. Checked out Microsoft site for instructions and read the following “IMPORTANT : You should not use this feature on a computer running DNS server or DHCP server or a Windows domain controller. When you enable ICS, the network adapter connected to the home or small office network is given anew static IP address configuration. Existing TCP/IP connections on the CS computer are lost and need to be re-established. “. So ICS sound useless.
Where should I now go. IS a ISDN router the best solution or should I keep the software approach.
Hope somebody knows a reliable trustworthy solution.
Thanks
