Ok I have DSL internet and the DSL modem has like 4 ports on it and it is also connected to a hub for more access to more users than 4 i have a server running advanced server 2000 and it is the domain controller running DHCP and DNS it has 2 LAN (rj45) ports on the back both are hooked into the hub i have 1 computer connecting to my domain it is runing 2000 prof my question is how do i connect to the internet because i thought simply amking the physical connection with the server to thje hub would do the trick i have IE 6 and set it to automatically detect settigns but still cant get online its hardf to share a conenction when there is no connection to share I need to know how to get the server online so i can share the connection
 
On the server search help for Internet Connection Sharing and follow
directions.

have 1 computer connecting to my domain it is runing 2000 prof my question
is how do i connect to the internet because i thought simply amking the
physical connection with the server to thje hub would do the trick i have IE
6 and set it to automatically detect settigns but still cant get online its
hardf to share a conenction when there is no connection to share I need to

already tried that read a thing the the microsoft knowledge base about how ICS doesnt work right when you have DNS and DHCP on the same server runnning while ICS is because ICS has like a mini DNS and DHCP thing built into it that almost what it is really so i tried Routing and remote access but i dont think i set it up right i mean i thought i did at first but the fact that i still cant get online tells me otherwise
 
I forgot about the ICS wanting to hand out DNS to clients. There is a reg
hack to change the IP address range ICS hands out so you can set the range
to what you want. I don't have access to that article now.

You might search help for NAT.

It is a more robust version of ICS and I don't think it will try to hand out
IP addresses.
