Can a workstation (via ICS) provide Internet to a Domain?I would GREATLY APPRECIATE any help that anyone can provide! Here's the quick scenario: I have a client that lives in a remote, mountainous area, whch does not have a highspeed internet access, with the single exception of Sprint (Mobile) wireless. He purchased Sprint's mobile card and when he pluged it into his laptop, it works great. For his small business, he needs a highspeed network solution for his small MS 2000 domain. He tried plugging Sprint's card into the domain server, but a message appears letting him know that they will not allow highspeed internet access to be provided for a business "domain" server. Now, here's the question: Would it be possible to do the following: 1) Establish an internet connection to the laptop, implement ICS and then provide a cable connection directly to the Domain controller? This will provide internet to the domain controller, along with the other systems that are members of the domain? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Providing ICS based Internet service is like any Internet service - it's independent of any domain concept. If you can setup the LAN to use 192.168.0/24 subnet, and leave 192.168.0.1 for the ICS server, then your solution should work. -- Cheers, Chuck, MS-MVP [Windows - Networking] http://nitecruzr.blogspot.com/ Paranoia is not a problem, when it's a normal response from experience.
