I have a w2000pro computer and i want to share it for internet use with 7 more w2000pro, when i create the conexion, it doesn't appear in the networks and dial up connections, so i can't share it. and just the computer with the modem connects to internet.

Any advise.

Thanks

I need more information to answer that question. Are the 7 Windows 2000 pro machines networked together? How are they networked together? Can you access resources on the Internet computer from the other computers?

When Internet Connection Sharingis enabled, it automatically reassigns IP addresses from the 192.168.0.0 network to the LAN adapter. Are all your other clients set to obtain an IP address automatically? If so, what IP address are they getting (Open the command prompt and type IPCONFIG /all).

I believe this can only be done in Win2k Server or Advanced Server. Load RRAS and go through the setup wizard. I set it up last week.

Enable internet connection sharing in your dial up networking.
Allow tcp/ip of NIC to obtain address automatically.
Set you browser to use the lan connection.
(In IE do not check automatically detect settings, do not check use automatic script,do not check use proxy server).

that's what i want to do, but when i create the dialup connection it doesn't appear, so i can enable the ICS.
Where is stored a dialup connection?, whuy doesn't appear where it should be?

If you have just a modem in your one system, are you able to connect to the web? (Not having it hooked up to the network)
For setting up a new dial up connection, right click on 'my network places'. Once you can connect, then go ahead and changethe IP address to the 192.168.0.1 format, at least 192.168.x.x. Reconnect to network, and make sure that connection is working. Reconfigure all IPs in the other computers to the 192.168.x.x format.
Enable ICS, and make a floppy when prompted to do so. Run the floppy on all remaining computers. Default gateway is the IP of the computer with the modem.

If this isn't the answer, there is something you haven't said...I have this same setup, only using DSL, but it should work fine with a modem as well. VERY SLOWWWWWWW with a modem, but technically should work.

When i create a dialup connection it shouuld appear in the network and dialup connections, right?

If yes then why nothing appears, and then how i'm suppose to activate ICS, where?.
