I have a box with 2 NICs.
Lets say:
NIC #1 is 192.168.240.10
NIC #2 is 192.168.240.20
NIC #1 is connected to my ISP so it gets it's IP from a DCHP server. NIC #2 IP was pluged in manualy.

I have a cross over cable going from NIC #2 to another box with IP 192.168.240.30

What I'm trying to do is share my internet connection between to two boxes without a hub.
So I guess what I'm saying is that I want the outside world to see one IP but in reality I have 3.

Sorry if this gets confusing.
IP 192.168.240.30 can ping 192.168.240.20 and vis versa.
192.168.240.30 can't ping 192.168.240.10

I imagine I have to plug in a route.
Which box would I have to add the route too?
I want to route 192.168.240.30 to 192.168.240.10
And how would you type in your command?
 
Dude,

What you are trying to do is in fact impossible. What you have to do is enable internet connection sharing which ships with win98SE and later.

You enable it on the network card going to your ISP. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
