Network bridging

I have a laptop with Windows XP on it, and it has an option for bridging networks. This is all fine and dandy, except my laptop doesn't have two network cards. I want my Windows 2000 machine to bridge the network. Here's my predicament:

I just got a new 8-port 10/100mbit switch. I used to be running on a 5-port hub, but it was only 10mbit and too slow. So I go to hook up my DSL. With my 5-port hub, I was able to plug the DSL into the uplink port, and every computer hooked into the hub received it's own IP address. Now, I tried the same thing with the 8-port switch, but there is no uplink. I plugged the modem into the 8th port, and plugged in all my computers. My laptop and my windows 2000 machine both received IP addresses fine, but my other windows 2000 computer kept getting the same address as my main windows 2000 machine. It couldn't surf the net because all the data was going to the wrong machine. I now have my computer (the one I'm sitting at), which has 2 network cards in it, connected to the small 5-port hub and the large 8-port switch. I plugged in the other 2000 computer into the hub, and I have this computer plugged into both. I then plug my laptop into my switch. It doesn't get an internet IP address, but it is able to ping the other computers on the network. I cannot, however, connect to them using NetBIOS.

So to make a long story short... does anyone know if it's possible to bridge networks using Windows 2000?

Thanks

PS. I am no installing XP on this computer if my life depends on it. :rolleyes:

Windows 2000 server will allow you. Check out Routing and Remote Access.

Thanks, but I've got it figured out. I just run my DSL into the 10mbit hub's uplink, then run a line out of that hub into my switch, where all my computers are connected and they receive their own IP addresses.
