XP Home Edition Internet Access Only

Hi All,

I am running an SBS 2003 Network. Everything works fine. I want to set up
an XP home edition computer to access the internet only. It would be used by
my kids for homework and such when they are at the office. I don't need or
want to buy a 5 pack CAL, and I don't want to upgrade the machine to XP Pro
in any case. The machine would have no need to access domain files, or share
any other domain resources.

General config: SBS 2003 Premium with ISA Server 2004 running, all available
CALs are in use, T-1 static ip internet connection, 1 switch, 1 wireless
router (dhcp diabled).

Do I have any options here?

Thank you for your time,

-Charlie

Don't connect it internally to the SBS. Use the wireless router either
wirelessly or wired (most have 4 ports).

Worked like a charm. I never thought it would be that easy.
