At the top of this page there is a link 'Internet Sharing'. It explains how to share your internet connection including WIN2000 and broadband.

Thats a good place to start. Try and come back with specific questions if you get stuck..

I'm successful sharing my pc with windows2000 server to the network(lan). now i wanna have my notebook or pc connect to the network via dial-up connection. and that notebook or pc that dial-up can be able to connect to the internet using my lan.

so it would look like this: Internet <=> dsl via pppoe <=> windows 2000 server <=> notebook or pc

I see.

One way I can think of is to remote desktop to one of the PCs on the network. I can only tell you what I use.
Two ways (both use dial-up to an ISP):
- On XP Pro (don't know if W2K support this). I RDC to the XP Pro PC and login.
- VNC is a free remote desktop tool that works with all windows. It has a windows client for LAN use and a javascript version that works with IE over internet.
See VNC here:

Using a dial-up ISP has the advantage of a local call cost to the ISP.

I guess another way is to dial-up with a RAS connection to the W2K server. Disadvantage is call cost. I have not done this myself so can't really advise.

Note: Doing this just to use the DSL is a bit pointless since you are limited by the dial-up bandwidth and might as well use the dial-up ISP.
