Re: FN-FORUM Windows 2K and 2K Server: Connecting the two

date posted 8th January 2003 17:15

If you use Ethernet to connect to the Internet.
Easiest and cheapest is two NICs in workstation, then you can use a
cross-over cable or a hub to attach the server to the PC. A hub is less
hassle in the long run. Make sure that the two NICs in the workstation are
on different subnets.

If you use a dial-up
One NIC in each, otherwise the same.
