Hi

I have got my internet server to work using two NIC's. First card for LAN and second card directly to an ADSL modem

Setup routing by following help etc

The server with the two cards can go onto broadband fine and doesn't hesistate which interface to use

The problem is nobody other than that server can access the internet

I really need a kind of step-by-step approach for connecting to the second card through the LAN

Servers
Windows 2000 Server PDC - one NIC / DHCP/ DNS/AD
Windows 2000 Server BDC & Internet Server - two NIC's / RRAS/ LAN and ADSL Access

So close need some help to finalise the settings, i think its just a routing problem. How the hell do you steer clients to go through the LAN and hop from one card to the second card through the Internet Server

PLEASE HELP

You need to install and configure NAT on the server hosting the web. Do
this from RRAS.

It is never a good idea to have a DC functioning in this roll.

NAT is already configured

Suggesting i buy the Netgear Router/ADSL Modem w/ the proper firewall in it

Just seeing if there were other solutions before i go and purchase the kit

Thanks Rob

That's exactly what I'd do. I don't see the point of turning any Windows
server into a router. You can pick up a NetGear FR114P for about $80 USD -
there are nicer ones out there if you want to spend a little more (if you
need VPN, I'd go with a baby Sonicwall that has that built in).
