How to share internet?

[CM]

Hi, there:
My home network is confabulated as following:

Cable ->Cable modem -> [Network Card 1(dynamic obtain IP, share
internet) ->PC1->Network card2(192.168.0.1) ]->[Network card 3(dynamic
obtain IP, gateway 192.168.0.1)PC2]

Both PC1 and PC2 are installed with windows 2000 server. No DHCP installed.
PC1 and PC2 are in the same workgroup, they can communicate each other.

The problem is PC2 cannot access internet, the message is "there is no
connection available."
Check "ipconfig" on PC2, the gateway IP address is empty.

PC2 used to be installed with windows 98, the network card setting is the
same, why win98 can access internet via PC1 but windows 2000 cannot? What's
wrong?

Thanks!

CM

If I understand correctly, you have Internet Connection Sharing enabled on
Network card 1 of PC1. If this is the case, you should configure PC2 to use
DHCP to get its IP address. If there is some reason for wanting to
statically configure PC2, then you need to assign a default gateway and DNS
server address of 192.168.0.1 to it.
