That is good to know. Thanks!

Correct, never had a problem with the individual users connecting to the
internet.
That is the first thing I check when a user has some problem connecting with
"server".
When I see that they can get on the internet, I know that the connection is
working
from them through both switches and hence to the "server".

> I take it your server has 2 NICs and is running ICS?

No, the server, uses only one NIC and connects to that second switch as I
have
said. So while the server is only important to the LAN, the individual
users can use
the LAN to share the internet connection. For that matter the server can
also get
out on the internet since it has had a regular OS (w2k). But I don't like
for them to
use the server to get out on the internet due to the usual concerns.

As for ICS, I just set up a share network. I have dealt with ICS in the
past but I am
brain weary at the moment and don't think I have that setup at the office.
I know I
should be able to state definitively but I really don't think so.
