I have been running multi boot with Cox@home since the day I got it. First
I had NT4 Server and Win98SE2 and now 2000 SERVER and 98SE2.  I have
another PC with 2000 PRO and 98 SE2 all hooked up to a Netgear Router,
although I previously ran the Servers as a ICS NAT server.
A dual boot has nothing to do with your Cox@home service and will make no
difference whatsoever as to your Internet connection.

When you set up the NIC for  2000  you must plug the COX@home DNS numbers
in...I suspect that is the source of your problem.

Go  to control panel....Network and Dial up connections, select your
NIC....select Properties...select Internet Protocol TCP/IP....select
properties....put a check in the Use following DNS numbers...and put in the
DNS numbers  COX provided you with.
