How do you connect to the internet? Do you have static Ips
or dynamic? if static, please describe.
If all are "sharing" the same bandwidth i suggest you make
your win2k box a server for internet.
A network is never a network with all ips with different
class, all gateways different and different subnets.
networking becomes a lot more easier if IPs and subnets
are well designed and static. Even if you somehow manage
to share files/printers it wont be reliable and would give
you all sorts of errors.
