I have 2000 Advanced Server installed, with 2 NIC's. I currently have a 'domain' to Telocity, my DSL provider straight from my router into one NIC. That works just fine. Now I want to set up an intranet, using my second NIC, which feeds a hub. Let's call it foo.com I have set this up as a new 'forest', or domain, installed active directory, and that works internally, just fine, however when it is enabled , my DSL no longer resolves. Ping, tracert, nothing works on the internet. When I disable foo.com, my internet connection returns. I have made this server a domain controller for foo.com as well. Both domains show up on their appropriate interface, both in their properties and using the ipconfig command. This server is acting as a firewall(zone alarm) temporarily. My gateway setting for foo.com is the 'internal' NIC connected to my hub, and not my router because I would like to keep the two independent of each other, for the time being. My question is what isn't configured properly? Must I make foo.com a leaf up from my telocity.com domain?
Now this type of configuration worked just fine with N.T. 4.0, I'm trying to troubleshoot what's going on here. Much thanx in advance,

Go to network properties, go to the advanced menu, select advanced settings. Select the external (internet) NIC and click the up arrow to make it higher priority.

Then add a route to your local routing table to send all traffic bound to your internal network through your internal NIC.

enable routing through RRAS (installed by default).you have two options here, you can either setup NAT or use direct routing to the internet (using either static routing or dynamic routing [RIP, RIPv2, OSPF] to communicate with your other router).i suggest you go with the NAT approach. add both the public interface and private interface.

hope this helps.
