Windows 2000 Server Multiple Network Cards

Hi,

I have three computers, one running Windows XP Home, another running windows
2000 server and the last one running windows 2000 pro.

All computers have network cards, with the machine runnning Windows 2000
Server having two. Crossover cables connect the WinXP to the Win2kServer
and the Win2kPro to the Win2kServer.

The WinXP computer has access to the dial-up internet connection, which is
to be shared with all computers. This has been set up.

The problem is I am unable to connect to any computer form the Win2k Pro
machine. No other computer can see it either, by pinging or otherwise.

I thought that there would be a Bridge connections option in Win2k Server to
solve this problem but I am unable to locate it.

Buying a hub is not currently an option.

Is there a way to connect these computers together without the purchase of a
hub but for every computer to see every other computer, and use the WinXP
shared internet connection.

Hope that this makes sense.

James
