Please help me do this simple thing. Two Nics in one computer.

[Shinobi]

Here is what I am trying to do. How do I configure one computer running Windows 2000 Pro so that all of my computers n my network goes into ONE of the Winodws 2000's nic cards, then OUT OF the other nic card in the same Windows 2000 box. My I.P.'s on each nic card in the Windows 2000 box has to be static, I know. Do I have to do something with the Gateway address entry? Basicaly, to recap, in on nic card and out thru the other. Thanks, I am going crazy trying to figure this out. I think what it's called is a "bridge". Like Windows XP has, but that O.S. is not a option. I could use Linux Mandrake tho....
Thanks for helping me out.

Yes, sounds like ICS as YeOSc suggested.

Specifically to your question you'd......
Say nic 1 = 192.168.1.1
nic 2 = 192.168.1.2

then make all pc's "point to" (gateway) = xxxxx.1.1

then set nic 1 to "point to" (gateway) = xxxxx1.2

then nic 2 points/gateways to the router or modem or auto,.......however you get out to the net currently.
