This shouldn't be so hard. Anyone care to check my figures?
I'm tired (just played 36 holes) & don't know if I'm doing something blatantly wrong. Both machines see each other fine thru Network Neighborhood. I can't get Comp B onto the 'Net. No firewall has been implemented yet.

Me need sleepy.....
Comp A
NT4 SP6
NIC 1: WAN
DHCP (directly connected to shaw cable modem)
IP Forwarding enabled
DNS = Both Shaw Cable DNS server ip's
NIC 2: LAN to Comp B via cross-over cable
192.168.0.1
255.255.255.0
(blank gateway)
IP Forwarding enabled (I guess NT4 does this automatically for both NICS)
DNS = Tried empty & tried both Shaw Cable DNS server ip's
Comp B
192.168.0.3
255.255.255.0
192.168.0.1
DNS = Both Shaw Cable DNS server ip's

Try this to get IP routing kicked off:

And then this for some routing basics in NT:

The "IPEnableRouter" bit is the same across the NT platforms from 3.1 on up from what I can tell, and you're going to need that to be able to ping across both NICs on from the client.

Thx to all for your help. It is much appreciated. Unfortunately, when I woke this morning I just reversed the machines so the 2K pc is connected to the 'Net, & the NT4 box goes thru it instead. I guess doing this made a little more sense, since the NT4 box was "struggling" on a P133 with 32MB of shared memory. Plus, the load of doing ICS (I installed Sygate ICS/Firewall on it last night) was too much for it.
I didn't get to read your replies until today, after I was done swapping NIC's from 1 machine to the other.
The amount of help one finds on these boards is truly amazing. Alec & Clutch, you're always one of the first to lend a hand. The info/links you posted are most helpful. I will keep them for reference. Xiven, I never thought of trying that, thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks fellas
