Hello. I have tried this for days and even maybe more (spent lot of time looking arround microsoft website) and I just can't seem to get it working.
The OS is Windows 2003 evaluation copy and I simply wanted to set up NAT (which I did get to work) so my other computers have Internet. I do have a router but I wanted to do this through Server computer.
So I did that and now I want to apply specific filters and this is where problem is. I was able to successfully block for example Receive mail in outlook, however what I wanted to do is to actually permit only internet for client computers.
With that in mind I have tried numerous ways of configuring inbound and outbound filters but I haven't been able to achieve what I need (again, Permit Only Internet).
I was able to block the internet (outbound on public interface, Source port 80, Transfer all packets but those), and thought that with reverse engineering (click Drop all packets) would work but it does not.
What am I missing, or this is not just possible through those filters (maybe going to Active Directory - I was thinking of doing this simple way not AD)?
I found a publicip.net distribution of linux that does this, however, I would want to stick with Windows 2003 (so it should be possible if publicip.net which is free is capable of doing this)
Thanks for any ideas/thoughts
