Hi, Please, I'll like to know detailly how I can use two network cards to configure a local gateway. I work in a cyber cafe with 12 non-routable IP addresses, so I'll like to configure a local default gateway so I can connect more than 12 PCs to theinternet. I use the win 98SE operating systey. Thanks.

It can be quite simple if all goes as it should.
Install the second NIC and checkuot the following.

The Microsoft ICS setup instructions (and troubleshooting links) can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/
and Q234815.
To start the ICS wizard
Click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Add/Remove Programs.
On the Windows Setup tab, double-click Internet Tools.
Click to select the Internet Connection Sharing check box, and then click OK.
Click OK, and then follow the instructions on the screen to run the Internet Connection Sharing wizard.

Linksys has a gateway router that will connect 256 networked computers to the internet on one ip address. Befsr41

It's easy to setup and works great. And by using nat provides a degree of security.
