Sharing an ADSL connection

[Gareth1978]

I know that this is a simple one but I'm feeling dim. I've got a win2k server with a USB ADSL modem. I want to share the ADSL connection with some NT4 workstations within the same domain.

What is the best way for me to do this ?

Thanks as always

The 'best' way would probably be to add a hardware router. But USB hardware routers are few & far between. There are some, but you might have to do some searching unless somebody jumps in and recommends one.

The other possibility is to use Windows Internect Connection Sharing or some other routing software (Sygate is another that comes to mind).

get a real router with built in modem and share it over the network.

irzyxel,

Uhh... Not sure what you mean by getting a "real router with a built in modem", but it hardly makes sense to me to worry about getting a router with a modem when you already have a modem. Just the router part should be a concern IMO, whether it's USB or ethernet.
