2 NICS and 1 Router

[jasonb007]

This is the scenario, I have a Windows 2003 server with 2 NICS and a router. I want to set the server up so NIC1 gives IP addresses to the clients from DHCP. I want the clients to be able to access the Internet using the router connected to NIC2 (via a hub). I want both NICs to have static IP addresses. The IP address of the router is currently 10.2.0.5, Subnet 255.255.255.0.

Could someone please give me some guidance of the settings that I could use in the NICS properties and DHCP scope. I have a ISP DNS address (not posted here for security).

Many thanks.

Jason Brown.

Hi,

I now have:-

NIC1:- IP Address 192.168.0.1, Subnet 255.255.255.0, Gateway blank, DNS 192.168.0.1
NIC2:- IP Adress 10.2.0.1, Subnet 255.255.255.0, Gateway 10.2.0.5 (Router), DNS 193.113.x.x (From ISP)

The server can access the Internet and ping everything. The clients CANNOT access the Internet. If I run ipconfig /all on the client, I get the following:-
IP Address 192.168.0.10, Subnet 255.255.255.0, Gateway 192.168.0.1, DHCP Server 192.168.0.1 and DNS of 192.113.x.x. I can ping 10.2.0.1 but not 10.2.0.5

In DHCP, the Scope Options set are 003 Router 192.168.0.1 and 006 DNS 193.113.x.x. The DHCP SERVER options are the same.

As above, the clients cannot access the Internet, what am I missing?

Many thanks again.

Your DNS global should be set to whatever the server uses as DNS unless you installed a DNS server. Try changing that on your internal NIC.

Nevermind......long day. Need to read things twice before responding.

What is doing the NAT'ing on your network the server or the router? If the router then your going to need to setup some sort of static route. Make sure you are double nat'ing either. You could always just let all your clients have direct access to the router, set the gateway as the router unless you are running some sort of firewall server.

Thanks all, but got this sorted now. It was to do with the set-up RRAS on the Windows 2003 Server.
