yea, it SHOULD work... but doesnt.

I dont want to spend 40-50 dollars for each computer to get new NICs, when I can just plug them into a local hub or router and have the server connect to the main router.

I can get my 200pro workstation to ping the server when I have it connected, but its on a different subnet coz I connected a local router to the server and it has its own NAT. so, that gets rid of the red X, but the 2000pro client cannot connect to the internet.

I think they both need to be in the same workgroup to allow the client to connect to the internet from the servers connection from what I read. Is this true?

my server is a domain server with active directory, not a workgroup, but when I try to get the 2000pro client to join the domain, it cannot find it. I did add the 2000pro computer to the AD users/computers list.

I will try again, but if anyone sees something I might have missed..... feel free to comment
