I have a LAN that has a T1 for internet and another T1 for a connection to a private network. The private network can also be accessed through a dial-up conection. I would rather use the dial-connection. Is there away I can setup the network so not everyone needs a modem on there desktop. Maybe one modem in the server room for everyone. How would I set this up?

Hello Friend, There are two Way to share internet connection in you LAN. The first one is Through ISA Server becaseue it is very reliable and secure and the other way is just enable internet sharing option in the dialup entry of your windows 2000 dialup connection.

These two above solution based on NT platform.

setup Routing and Remote Access on a 2000 server. create a dial on demand interface for the private network. add a static route for this private network with in RRAS. set all workstations to use this server as thier gateway.

PS: If the default gateway on the server is the internet line, then your users will get internet access and access to the private network.

Ever hear of a router with the modem pool set up on the async ports (outbound only) ? This would only be available via the internal eathernet using the router as the alowable network connection.

The answer from wwwacny@yahoo.com (#4) is right on. Just configure a modem on a W2k server, then Configure RRAS to use that modem to create the connection. Create a static route to the private LAN. Tell the clients about the gateway and you're all set. You can find lots of articles on RRAS at MS and other sites.
