My problem:-

I have a WK2 Server running active directory in domain
mode.This system has the modem in it.
I have a XP system that connects to the domain as a client,
I am trying to get the XP system to use the Dialup modem
with demand dial in the server to get onto the internet. I
can not get it to work. Both systems are connected to each
other via a crossover cable. IP address of server
192.168.0.1/24, XP 192.168.0.2/24

i have tried the following:-

I have enabled ICS on the modem which in
turn sets the IP address on the Server NIC to
192.168.0.1/24. I enabled Auto IP on the XP systems NIC
and then connected to the internet on the Server, once
connected I logged on as the administrator on the XP
system and opened IE and I couldn't look at any web sites
or collect email on the XP system. I have no firewalls
enabled as I am trying all this. I must be doing something
wrong.

Any ideas?

Regards
Ian
 
Don't run ICS in a domain environment. You need to configure RRAS/NAT
instead of ICS.

See 310357 HOW TO: Configure the NAT Service in Windows 2000

I set it all up but I couldn't get the XP system to get
on the web, it was always trying to dial the modem in the
XP system.

Any other ideas
 
Also note that, for the dialup client to access the Internet via NAT on
the server, you will need to make the RAS interface an input to NAT. See KB
310888 .
