Dear all,

I need to setup a server that is web server and NAT.
I obtain 6 IP address from ISP.
One IP has assign to web server.
So it only 5 IP address for NAT using.
My LAN has more than 6 PCs access internet as same time.

How to setup the RAS services for above situation?

Thank you very much
 
Well the web services and NAT are very simple to set up
and only require 1 IP address. Are you using IIS or
another web server? Either way set the site up and test it
by typing the http://<your external IP Address here> just
to see that everything is ok. Then setup DNS with records
for NS1 and NS2.
http://www.dnsreport.com is very useful when setting up
DNS.
Then you can set up NAT by using RRAS. Define the external
NIC as the public address and the Internal interface as a
private network eg. 192.168.x.x You can have the clients
use DHCP from NAT or specify static addresses, probably a
good idea if you want to add any other servers like mail.

For RAS you can set it up so the clients dial in and are
assigned the remaining 5 public IP addresses though they
could use 192.168.x.x. addresses aswell so you could have
the whole network running off a single public IP address.
Would probably save you a few $.
