In order to do what you're talking about you must enable Connection sharing on the win2000 box. The process is wizard driven so it should be fairly straigh forward. I do know that it's fairly easy on a Mandrake machine, and I've heard that it can be a pain to do on a windows machine. At any rate you can do what you want to do. Mark
