Connecting o Internet

[rclendenon]

I have a 2003 server with two NICs. One is used for the internal network and is working fine. The other is used to access the internet from the server with IP,Subnet,Gateway and DNS supplied by internet provider. I can not get this second connection to work. When I try to connect to the internet it just times out. What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for the help!

What is the rest of the setup? From the 2nd NIC you are going to the DSL router or whatever your Internet Access device is? And that is all working correctly?

You may have to add a route command on the server to tell the server that all outside traffic goes through which Interface. I forget the exact syntax. From a command prompt on the server it would be something like:
Route add 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 Metric 2 IF2

I'd highly recomend you don't keep this setup. Security is practictly non-existant. Just purchase an inexpensive router (assuming your are on a broadband connection).
