    Are you running DNS and DHCP. If you are then you have to set up the routing and remote access to allow internet sharing. There is a wizard for it in the setup your server area.

    If you are not running DHCP and DNS then you can run standard ICS from networking connections.

    You need the server to run DNS also, or the client will not get site locations. I have also seen this setup blocked by an ISP, as with two NICs open to the world on a box a simple ISP probe would reveal what you are doing. BEST answer is a DHC\NAT\Firewall capable router that lets the modem have the responsibility to get DNS according to the router's command as to where to look, with the router told that it is responsible for handling the traffic for DNS and to supply DHCP locally. IF you want the server to be open to the web, get a router with DMZ capable port also, plug server into that, and program router to allow workstation to access router but to hide workstation. Router adopts server IP, you reassign server to a local IP that is DMZ'd.

    http://www.i386.com/ and http://www.winnetmag.com/windowsnt20002003faq/ are always a good place to start.

    If you dont want to spend any money, try setting up DNS first and then DHCP. Then try routing and remote access. If you still have no joy then remove DNS and DHCP and its just internet access that the other machine needs then use Internet Connection Sharing. It runs a mini DNS and DHCP client, no configuration required :thumbsup:
