Problems using a 4 port ethernet pci card

Hello
I've got a problem with my home server/router. The other pc's in the house can't access the internet through it.
It's running XP Pro SP3 and it has one onboard Gigabit ethernet port and a 4 port ethernet pci card. The internet connection has to use one of the 4 100Meg ports.
I used to have just the onboard port and a single port pci card which connected to a switch. This worked fine but i wanted to get rid of the switch.
The new configuration seems to have a problem bridging all the connections. The Gigabit port work, allowing that pc acces to the net. The other 3 ports on the pci card don't. Anyone got any ideas as to why?

Did you run Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)?
Personally, I'd recommend using a router over ICS. Routers are so cheap now, it doesn't make sense to use ICS.
