Internet connection sharing with WinXP Home and a domain

I want to access the Internet through a Win 2003 Server
whilst connected to an internal network. I have WinXP Home
so I can't be a member of the Windows 2003 Server domain.
Can I access the Internet through Windows 2003 Server? The
Windows 2003 Server is a domain controller and NAT server.
I know I can delete the domain and set up a workgroup but
I don't want to do this. Nor do I want to upgrade to XP
Pro. Any other ways? What would enabling TCP/IP forwarding
achieve?

Any computer connected to your network infrastructure should be able to
access the Internet. This is purely a matter of TCP/IP configuration and
routing - it has nothing to do with domain membership.
