Dual IP ranges - internet access

[jase25]

Hi all,

I emailed a thread a while ago regarding this, but I think this will sound clearer.

I have a server (Win2k), with 2 networks cards. One has a static of 217.34.170.1, the other has a static of 192.168.0.1. On the 217.34.170.x, I have a broadband router. I have DHCP to allocate 192.168.0.x to clients.

The server can access the internet o.k. but the clients can't. I'm getting confused on how the 2 cards on the server should be set up with regards to gateway, dns, etc.

Does anyone know where I should start looking?!!

thanks

Jason

You need to load the Routing and Remote Access add-in on your server. That will enable you to actually route across your interfaces. It will also make it easier to create a static route that routes all traffic toward the internet.

The card on the internal interface doesn't need a gateway assigned at all. The card on the external interface uses your broadband router as the default gateway. Set up DNS on your server and configure forwarders. Point them at your ISP's DNS servers. Configure your clients to point at your DNS server.

I'm not 100% positive on this, but you might want to make your DNS server only listen on your internal interface. That way you can allow dynamic DNS registration for your clients and you can resolve their queries, but you won't be accepting any queries from the internet, only having your outbound queries resolves.

Hope this is helpful.

I set this service, did all the DNS etc. and I was still struggling. After about 30 minutes, I found the ICS option on the external card and ticked it, now its working!!

thanks for your help ShackDaddy, much appreciated
