re: Question about 'Share an Internet Connection' Saturday, September 15, 2001 at 7:28 pm Windows 2000 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Tony Clifford (1 messages posted) I've also had mixed results with the MS internet connection sharing. My WIN2000 machine at work on a small 3 machine system refuses to assign addresses to the other machines. So no go. But, set the thing up in 3 minutes on a small home network with the server running WIN2000, a Vaio running WIN2000 and a P233 running WIN98!! Go figure. NETBUI maybe the answer.
