A friend has 2 PCs running Win2kPro, but only 1 modem. He wants to set up the system so both computers can access the internet but he oesn't want to use W2kServer.

How does he do it? more specifically, how do I do it, since I'm the one who'll be helping him. Anyone point me to a good resource?

oh... and the computer with the modem is running Win2K AND WinXP. He prefers to use XP over 2K, but some of his book keeping software doesn't run under XP so he has to boot into 2K. Will that cause a conflict I should be aware of.?

His best solution is to buy a cheap router (these days good routers are cheap like borscht) but if he can't afford that kind of outlay then his next best option (IMO) is to set up the modem in the XP system and then enable an internet gateway for the 2K system.

Here (http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp_ics/internetgateway.htm) is a tutorial on how to set it up:
