The big question is this. Do you plan to make the server a domain
controller?
It is fairly straight-forward to replace an XP and ICS with a server.
You enable RRAS on the server and set it up as a NAT router. (ICS is just a
cut-down version of NAT). It is not quite as simple to set up as ICS,
because RRAS expects to see an interface as the public connection, not a
modem.
But if you are planning to use Active Directory now or in the future, I
would recommend that you don't do it!
