I have 4 Windows 2000 Servers, only 1 has internet access.
How can I setup ICS to allow only 1 specific of the remaining 3 servers to
gain Internet Access?
(All are in the same subnet and can see each other.)

Step by Step or any Articles would be great.
Thanks
 
Manually configure the servers. Give the server which needs Internet
access a default route pointing to the ICS server's LAN IP. Leave the
default gateway setting on the other servers blank.

How are you dealing with DNS?
 
First of all, do you have ICS working? If so, all you need to do is assign
the IP addresses of the other 3 statically, and leave the default gateway
blank on the ones you don't want to have Internet access. If you don't have
ICS working, the Windows help has a decent explanation of how to configure
it. It's really pretty darn easy, but you do need to know networking basics
as far as how to connect things and troubleshoot, otherwise you'll save
yourself a lot of grief by buying a cheap broadband router.

DNS info is manually entered into each server's network connection properties.
Sorry but HOW do I give the desired server "a default route pointing to the
ICS server's LAN IP"?

By the way, I have 2 sets of servers in this condition - ONE set is a
cluster, does that make a difference? In the cluster I want to give the all
remaining 3 access.
