Since I haven't got much help on my other post I thought I'd try something else. Can someone point me in the direction to set up ICS in windows 2000 Professional

This should get you going Microsoft has included it's version of connection sharing (ICS) natively in
Win2k. Every dial up connection now has a sharing tab on it properties
window. Sharing a connection is as easy as clicking the "share this
connection" box. You can also enable dial on demand from this window, which
allows the other computers on your network to cause your connection sharing
computer to dial that connection if it is not already done. Very easy, very
simple, and it seems to work!! A note though. For connection sharing to
work, the computer that is the server (in this case, the win2k one) needs to
have an IP address of 192.168.0.1. This can be set on the local area
connection, from the start menu, settings, network and dial up connections

I already have that portion of that done, but my client pc will not connect. It will dial the connection but it will not go to any webpages. I have IE configured to use the lan for its connection. Are there any other settings I need to make on the client PC's?

Never Mind. I found the problem. TCP\ip was not binding correctly to my NIC. I probably looked at that thing about a thousand times before it finally hit me that NN properties just showed TCP\IP and not TCP\IP->3com FastEtherLink. Oh well it was a good learning experience and now I'll be more observant about the little things. Thanks Mntsnow and delete thread if desired.
