I'm having trouble accomplishing the following:
- I have an adelphia cable modem connected to a realtek ethernet card in my
windows2000 pro HP computer. I have no router nor do i want one.
- I have a dynamic IP address lease to me every few hours or so, and
therefore I have to let the IP address and DNS server configure
automatically. I cann't force it to anything.
- so far I am getting internet OK on the HP through the Realtek ethernet
card.
- what I want to do is install a second ethernet card (mircosoft MN-130) amd
connect a switch to that ethernet card so that any computers connected to
that switch (and therefore to the second microsoft ethernet card) get access
to the internet via the HP computer - i,e, I want to set up the windows 2000
pro so that it acts as a router, routing all IP requests from the 2nd
Microsoft ethernet card to the 1st Realtek card. I cann't gibe the Realtek
card a fixed IP address - its assigned dynamically by Adelphia (my cable
ISP).

How do I do this?

Thanks
