Two of you have correctly pointed out that Microsoft ICS (Win2K and XP versions) support some sort of port forwarding. I should have been a little clearer as I was referring to the Windows 98 version of ICS (port forwarding is not supported in that version). Since I've moved on to WinRoute, I haven't even given ICS a second thought. It looks like Microsoft made some improvements to ICS in Win2K and XP. However, WinRoute is still the more powerful app for a software routing solution.
Thanks!
