Configure internet connection for my home network

[Rick Sjogren]

Hi all,

I was wondering what I need to do to set up my Internet connection for
my home network.

I have a W2k PC that is connected to the internet through a cable
modem. I also have a W2K Advanced Server PC set up as my PDC and
another couple of WXP computers.

Thanks in advance,
Rick

Save yourself a lot of time and headache, and purchase/install an
inexpensive broadband router/firewall....such as the NetGear FR114P or
comparable Linksys (with stateful inspection firewall). Don't bother with
ICS, especially as you have a domain.
