I have a pc with win2000 pro

There are 2 network cards in it. 1. is named "lan" and it is connected to
lan with several computers. The second is named "wan" and it is connected
directly via adsl to the internet. Lan gets its addresses from w2k server
with dhcp server and wan gets its addresses from the isp

The question is: how can I "tell" these two cards (in the same computer) to
allow traffic from lan to wan and vice versa ??

Someone said that in XP it is easy just right click from the connection and
say "bridge". But in W2k there is no such function.

Thanks in advance.

I don't think you want to bridge this traffic, but instead you want to route
it. You can do this by enabling IP Forwarding. See 230082 HOW TO: Enable
TCP/IP Forwarding in Windows 2000

I tried this. Nothing happened. I restarted the computer after the change.

The basic idea was to be able to map a network resource from wan to lan like
this:
card lan = 89.0.0.7 mask 255.255.2550
card wan = 10.10.15.3 mask 255.255.255.248

(addresses are fake)

No when I use the address 10.10.15.4, how can I map the resource
89.0.0.8\resource ??
