I?ve got NAT up on my home LAN, through a lot of trial and error.
Let?s see if I can remember what worked.
1. RRAS set up on server
2. NAT protocol installed in RRAS under IP routing, general
3. No AD on NAT server. Demote if you have active directory installed
4. Two Interfaces installed in RRAS, one for external shared connection to net,
one internal for LAN.
5. client looks to server LAN IP (192.168.0.1) for DNS
6. Receive IP automatically on client
7. Use the connection wizard in IE properties on client to connect
through LAN
8. Your clients should get an address in the 192.168.0.xx range
9. NAT runs a mini DHCP service and will conflict w/ another
DHCP server, or router on LAN
10.Feel free to contact me via email, Good Luck

There are two different types of ICS that ship wth W2k Server.
One is ICS and the other, Microsoft calls NAT.
They both do the same thing (Network Address Translation), but NAT has alot more functions involved.
NAT must use DHCP, it can use a dynamically assigned ip address by an ISP, it can demand dial.
It is meant for larger networks than ICS.

One of the biggest settings that you need is make sure the workstations point to the internal card for a default gateway. If they use a different router for WAN connections then you will have to add static routes on the NAT box to redirect those requests to the other router.

Correct but didn't help me.
I have actually got this going now and does work well but is a little painful to setup.
