Can someone help me to configure the best way in setting up modem sharing on a Windows 2K server? I would like my Win98 clients to be able to dail out through the server to a local ISP. Do I need a modem sharing program? Do I need Proxy server installed? Or can Windows 2000 do it all? If so what client program do I install at the workstations?
Thanks.

W2K has Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) built-in. So the only thing you need to do is activate this. In the dialup connection properties go to the sharing tab and check the box to enable ICS. Next follow the instructions and you probably have to make some changes to you network since its usiing and IP address scheme like 192.168.0.X. This is a private IP address range. If you want to keep your current network settings you would have to go with some other program like a proxy program e.g. winproxy but there are many others.
