I have 3 win2000 boxes and my main one has the broadband connection. In it I have two network cards in which the main card is set up for IP sharing. It passes the goods over to the second card and out to the second box. They now both have Internet. In the second box I also have 2 network cards and I was trying to pas the connection over to the third box..(daisy chaining). For some reason it does not want to work with win2000. When I had winXP on the second box it worked like magic! (Network Bridging). What gives?

Jump to PostI've tried doing this once too in windows xp, with no problems. I never attempted it in windows 2000 - I don't even know if network bridging is built into win2k, sorry I can't offer more help
Jump to PostDo you have an endless supply of network cards or what.I called one of my network admin buddies and he said somthing about having the exact brand and model of cards will somtimes cause conflicts
Hope this helps
Jump to PostBuy a cheap hub they are like 30 bucks.
put the cable or dsl into the first pc than on the second network card
run it to the hub and then connect the other pcs to the hub.
