Hello:
You can use one of your existing Win2k computers to use as a router and
DHCP. It will have to have 2 network cards in it (1 for the internal lan and
the other for connecting to the internet) and ip forwadring enabled. Then
you need to add the IP of your win2k router in the other computers as the
default gateway, or go and buy a linksys 4 port router and use it, they are
fairly cheap.
