There is a click on the Start button call Server management. You do
almost everything from there. On the To Do page is a Connect to the
Internet click. You share the modem there.

No IM I thought in 2003 but I could be wrong. Internal email, standing
up and talking to the person the next cube over, or MSN IM is used at
accounts that have a fst internet account.

www.smallbizserver.net has answers to the XP problems. Incorrect
server configuration can cause all kinds of issues. Standard answer to
troubleshooting is to open a command prompt and type ipconfig/all from
the server and from workstations. Post the ipconfig/all for diagnosis.
