NT Server 4.0 as a Router 1

[foxfire]

I'm very new to NT Server 4.0. Here is what I have.
Network A has all machines with static ip address's of 10.0.0.x subnet 255.255.255.0. There is a firewall with an ip of 10.0.0.200 which connects to our internet service. Machines on network A need only have our providers DNS addresses set and a gateway of 10.0.0.200 and the internet works. Network B has all machines with static ip address's of 10.0.2.x subnet 255.255.255.0. There is an nt server with ip of 10.0.2.5. I have connected the two networks together. I want to have the internet available on network B. I read I could have the NT Server act as a router but I have no idea where to start. I did give the nt server on network B an ip for each network and internet works on the nt server. But how do I get the machines on network B to be able to see the firewall at 10.0.0.200.

thanks for any help

if you want to install a NT as a router then
1. place 2 NIC's in the server. Set a static IP on both cards... (one IP in range A, the other one in range B)
(do not set a gateway address on your server unless you want to reach another router from there...)
Next enable IP forwarding on your server
reboot the server, and it will be a router

Assign the server IP address as default gateway on your clients,
let them keep the ISP DNS server (or set up your own DNS server and enable forwarders...)

I have not failed, I just found 10000 ways that don't work

The simpliest way is to set the IP addresses of both A and B networks to fall within the same range (10.0.0.x)
