Hello, all. How do I configure my Win2k clients to connect to my internet
connection on my Windows XP Professional computer that I designated as a
server on a wireless network. Thanks

Did you run the Network Setup Wizard on the Windows XP computer, and select ICS?
This computer connects directly to the Internet. The other computers on my
network connect to the Internet through this computer.

Then simply configure the Win2K clients for automatic IP address and DNS server
address.
