I've never tried it, but I'll take the role of the protagonist here and say
that I think you could get it to work, but it'll take a little
unconventional thinking. When you dial in, do you get an IP address on the
LAN (you can ping the W2K box)? If that is the case, you should be able to
manually specify the default route as the private interface (NIC2) as the XP
pro's default gateway. (from command line > ip route 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0
<NIC2 IP Address>). You would also need to manually set your DNS server to
point to your ISP's (cable provider's) DNS server. That might route packets
via the shared connection. It's worth a try.
