I apologise in advance for posting this again but no one
seems to have a solution to this one, so I thought I would
try again.

My problem:-

I have a WK2 Server running active directory as a domain
controller.This system has the dialup 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.

I have also configured NAT as another way because someone
said that ICS is not a good idea for a domain contoller.

Configuration of NAT as follows:-

Server:-
Private interface - LAN adapter on the Server (other end
connects to XP system LAN adapter)
Public interface - Dialup connection on the Server

XP system:-
LAN adapter Auto IP and Auto DNS

Still nothing
Someone please help me before I blow my mine on this one.

Thanks in advance Ian
 
It is correct, that you should NOT use ICS on a domain controller.
You should create a dial on demand connection in RRAS to connect to the
Internet instead of a regular dial-up connection. After setting this up you
should be able to configure NAT and use the dial on demand interface as the
Public interface.

You have to put the dns server addresses of your ISP into
the client PCs DNS fields and also the gateway address
(192.168.0.1).
NT based OS's have trouble receiving the DNS addresses
through DHCP.
Often it has to be done even when their on the lan.
