WinXP PRo as a Internet Gateway to the Home LAN with DOmain controller (AD, static IP's)

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a small LAN with Win03 Server as a Domain Controller, AD and static
IP.

All PCs are connected to a hub that is a DHCP server. Some PCs like a Domain
Controller have static IPs (out of DHCP range).

I have one of the connected PCs with WinXP Pro SP2 that also have a WiFi
connection to the Internet.

I would like to connect the whole LAN to the Internet via that PC.

I can not use ICS since I have static IPs in the LAN.

Is NAT an option, and NAT where a Gateway is WinXP Pro SP2 machine?

PS. Please CC me on replies.

Thanks,
Ivan

The simple way is adding a router. If you want to use NAT, it must be the server. Finally, you may be able to setup ICS using different IP (but it is not recommended). This link may help,
