Share Internet Browsing

This is a pretty broad subject with lots of possible answers. My fave is to use a router that will run NAT (Network Address Translation). Depending upon the number of users you have, you can get a relatively inexpensive one from NetGear or LinkSys, or a slightly higher-end one (we use Netopia) if you have a larger number of users. Get a router that is configured for the type of Internet connection you have (DSL, cable, analog, etc.) Set it up to perform NAT but NOT to run DHCP, give it a static internal IP address for the LAN connection, connect it to your hub or switch, then set up the IP address and connection information for your ISP. Then, through your internal DHCP server, set the Router option to the internal, static IP address of the router, so that all your DHCP clients will be using the router as their gateway address. If you need any additional help, you can email me directly at synergy@synoffsys.com. Hope this helps!

2000 server has NAT built in.

start -> program --> administrative tools --> routing and remote access.

right click server name, select "Configure and enable..." next, select "internet connection server," next, select "set up a router with..", next, select your internet network card, or create a dialup connection, next, finish.

In your DHCP server, set the default router option to the IP address of your windows 2000 server. also in dhcp set some DNS servers, either install DNS on the2000 box, or call your ISP and ask them for your DNS server.

share the Internet thru configuring the NAT or Routing whatever is more easy for you and between win98 machines I recommend you to use internet sharing so you can share thru your win98 PC

Here are a couple of links that will cover the possibilities in detail with step by step instructions on setting them up. I hope they help!
