Internet Access

[tcstudio]

We currently use Nt for allowing our users internet access via Microsoft proxy server. Is there anyway I can get the netware 6 box to do the same job.

yes, it's called BorderManager. And unlike M$'s proxy server that has holes in it, this one comes with an actuall firewall to actually protect your network.

If you have small business edition, BM comes with it, if not, it is an additional cost.

I have a test Netware 6 sp4 environment at home with 5 clients. I previously had Windows 2000 Internet Sharing setup and that worked great (all 5 clients were able to get to the internet fine). I want to use a Netware server to do the same exact thing. The kicker is I have a broadband cable modem with Road Runner as my ISP. Road Runner will assign a dynamic IP. Is there a way to route internet traffic through my netware box without using Border Manager or NICE?

NetWare can NAT a public address to a private network and it can also pick up a dynamic IP address. I've never done it before but from the server console, look around in INETCFG.

To NAT the address, I can have a private ip address like 192.168.0.1 and a public ip address that will be dynamically assigned. How do I get the public nic to automatically obtain an address? Otherwise, I will have to guess at an ip that is not in use, and we are talking about an isp. Also, the public nic will need a default route, where do I set that?
On the client side, I will need a default gateway, is that the ip of my public nic.
Many thanks.

I also realize I can ping random addresses until I find one. But dynamically would be better for me. I know NICE would be a solution but I do not have the small business version of Netware 6. Does anyone know where I can download NICE? Is it native to Netware 6? I think I have the enterprise edition of Netware.
Thanks again.

I think NetWare's version of dhcpd is "dhcpclnt". You should be able to use that (on your public interface) to get an address and gateway.

I'm reinstalling the NOS and it is asking me to input an ip address for both my cards, do I leave that blank for now and try to configure my binds for dynamic addressing in inetcfg?

I found that Coyote (linux based) was an easier solution when dealing with an unregistered ip address.
