Home Network Setup

[barryr2]

I am planing to setup the following Home Network:
one comuter running windows,2000 which will be the "host",
and will be connected to the internet via dial up
connection.
The second computer is running windows xp home eddition.
The third computer is running windows 98 se.

At this time I have 3 computers on a net work, with
Internet Sharing. The host is on the windows xp, while the
clients are running windows 98 se.
In addition, the computers are connected through a switch.

Does windows 2000 have the same Internet Sharing
capabilities as windows xp and 98?
Is it as simple to set it up with windows 2000 as it is
easy with windows 98 and xp?

Any reply is greatly appreciated.

Hi

Yes, WIN2K has the same sharing feature as WIN98 & XP - ICS. If you need
some details have a look at www.practicallynetworked.com or
www.homenethelp.com - both are great sites and have tutorials on setting up
a LAN & ICS.
