I am using 2 nic cards in a w2k server, 1 for internal subnet and the other for the outside world. I have tried many different things to gate through the outside world nic from the internal nic but am unable to get through unless I enable sharing on the nic used for the outside world. Any one have the answers to what I need to do to get them working?
 
Thank you "HEX1000 (MIS)", I will try this and see if that helps. Appreciate the reply and link!

Also need to check that you have IP forwarding enabled other wise all packets are dropped....

But beware of the security implications..... Mac [pipe]

Glad to be of service.
 
I see that you are using an Win2k Server.
Then I recomand you NAT (Network Address Translation).
(and, btw, ICS (Internet Connection Sharing) is a small NAT).

Go to Routing And Remote Access, and configure it as a network router. Then add go to IP Routing / General node and right click , Add a new routing protocol. Then from the list you choose NAT.
NAT needs to define for it 2 interfaces. One will be the public one ( the one to your ISP) and the other one an internal one.
Then NAT /Properties / Address assignment and set the scope for NAT DHCP service. You should assign something like:
10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 or
172.160.0.0 255.240.0.0 or
192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0

And that should be all. Of course the DNS configuration is another problem. You can have your own DNS that will forward requests to the ISP DNS or you can go to NAT /Properties / Name resolution / and check "Clients using DNS" (it will use the DNS relay service). Gia Betiu

Thank you all for your replies and responses!
The info provided by Gia Betiu was the ticket in my case!
