How do you configure a Windows 2000 Server running Active Directory and Network Address Translator (NAT) to share an internet connection using Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPOE)?

If you are using Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) and the outbound connection uses PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), the clients that are using the ICS connection may not be able to browse some Web sites or send e-mail messages that contain attachments.
PPPoE requires lowering the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) setting on all client computers to a value no larger than 1,492. (The default is 1,500.) In some cases, a value less than 1,492 may be necessary.
