Hi Doug. First of all, let me thank you for your answer and advice! : ). Yes.
I could ping once that Google address from the workstation. Once. After that,
I tried pinging Yahoo and failed. When I tried to ping again the Google IP
directly I got another failure. I do not have an Active Directory domain and
I cannot have because the server is not always on.

I already ran that Wizard and I already did exactly what the link you gave
me says : ). Except the DHCP. I can't use DHCP because it will mess up all my
network and as I said, the server is not always on. I read all the NAT
documentation and it said something about static routes. Adding a 0.0.0.0
destination with 0.0.0.0 network mask and as a gateway, the gateway provided
by my ISP. I added that Static route but still no internet on the
workstations.

But from what I saw from the wizard, there's nothing much to do. I pretty
much did everything and it should work correctly... however, it doesn't : (.

If you could be so kind as to give me an e-mail address where I could send
you some screenshots of my settings it would be great. That would cover
thousands of words of explanations. You could send a blank e-mail on theaxonn
at hotmail dot com. So far, I think I must give up on Windows 2003 because I
just can't seem to be able to find that little secret spot where I can make
it work : (. And I don't want to use WinRoute either but it seems that I got
not much of a choice.

Thank you again! Have a nice day.
