Sorry for posting this message here. I can't help it I have been spoiled by the great responses by the members of this forum. I am almost clueless when it comes to Windows OS's since I haven't tried to do anything important with them in oh....well let me make that EVER!
My problem is:
I have a group of computers I want to get internet access to. They all have the ability to be assigned an IP via DHCP but I do not want to do this due to some routing issues I might encounter. So what I want to accomplish is have a server ( it is required to be a 2k server for some reason...damn those who know nothing of the greatest os's in the world!) which has 2 nics in it routing this traffic like so:
computer in this specific group requests a web-page>request goes to 2k machine's "internal network NIC"> then routes this to the nic which has internet access.
ICS will not work because it will require an ip of the NIC that is connected to the net of 192.168.0.1. I setup NAT on the server, and was able to get net access on the server. But when I went to ping something on the internal network it failed. I went to one of the group's machine which I assigned an IP addy to 10.10.10.1 lets say, and tried to ping my server's internal nic with no success.
Is there another method of doing this besides NAT?
Any help would be appreciated.
btw server is running w2k advanced serv sp3
