Not necessarily - I have a PC with only one NIC and the tab appears in my LAN Properties. However, my internet connection is an external USB DSL modem. I think that the two NIC rule applies only where one of the NICs *is* the actual internet connection. You can't share DSL/cable with itself - you need a NIC connected to a LAN in order to share. My problem with ICS is that W2K tells me there is another adapter with the 192.168.0.1 IP on the network when I know there isn't. The other 2 NICs on my LAN are both statically configured to 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.3 I've gotten these 3 computers to work with ICS before under W2K with these IPs. At the time I didn't have a firewall that supported ICS, so I abandoned the setup but now I can't get it working again. Anyone else encounter this problem (or have a fix)? Thanks in advance for any help!

That is likely true. I have one 2k server that is multihomed and I know the sharing
