I am not able to connect to the internet from Client PC's, Direct dial starts but no connectivity to the clients, the Server can connect fine... when I try to configure NAT it asks how the other computers connect to the internet, I choose the Network card, and the NAT wizard tells me to install a network card, but one is already installed.... BAsically I am asking for a point form instruction on how to configure and setup NAT.... any help or advice is greatly appreciated....

I have one machine set up as the server, which contains two NICs. The first has the public internet address bound to it, the second, an address on the internal network. The NAT software runs on the server, while workstations are configured to select the network address of the server as a gateway.

Hi My set up like this.
I have a Dsl Line connected with NAT .I have installed one machine as a proxy(winproxy)with two NIC.One nic has the static Ip and gateway address from our ISP and other was find our local network.Pls give a seperate ip for second NIC with same subnet on the local network ex..Second NIC Ip starts from 192.168.0.x1,
Local network starts from 192.168.0.x2,x3...
Pls start the proxy software and go to the client machine.Connect the net thro lan.Give manual proxy address asa second NIC of your machine.
I hope it will sole your problem

Another thought about your problem. I assume your first NIC is your ISP and your 2nd NIC is for your internal network. You need to put NAT on your 2nd NIC - by dafault Microsoft put an IP address of 192.168.0.1 on the NAT card. So can use this IP orchange it to your desired one. Then on your client the IP should be 192.168.0.whatever but not 1 and your gateway must be 192.168.0.1 and of course your Network MASK is 255.255.255.0. Hope this scenario helps you.

My bad, please fix the above message, the NAT should be on the first NIC. I should have read the message before posting it. Sorry.
