I've got a Windows 2000 Pro machine that is connected to the internet via
another machine (Freesco Router). Win 2k machine uses DHCP.
I can use internet from W2K machine, but not from laptop:

Internet - - - (Freesco)d - - - a(W2K)b - - - c(Laptop)
.. . . . - - - 192.168.1.1 - - - -

Using laptop I can ping b NIC, but not a nor d.
I have changed IPEnableRouter in w2k to 1, but still no go.

I've also tried enabling Internet Connection sharing on b adapter. Nothing
seems to work.
Do any of you know if it' s possible to access internet that way.
Appreciate any ideas.
 
After wrestling with this problem for 3 days (and some nights), I finally
solved it !
Appearantly I had a solution right at the begining, but didn't know.

I am using Proxomitron - a kind of web proxy to filter pop-ups and other
junk. All browsers are configured to go through this proxy on local machine.
I also discovered that in config area there's a setting - "allow connections
from local machine only". I changed that setting to "allow connections from
IP range..." and filled my local IP range there.
Next step was to configure laptop's browser to use this win2000 machine as
proxy server and wolla, now I can sit with my laptop in the balcony and
search on google...

Isn't technology great !!!
