Here is my problem. I am running Windows 2000 NAT. I have both my interfaces set up and on my public interface I have my address pool set with no reservations. The problem is on some, not all websites. I can ping them, but on all my client machines using NAT, the browser shows page not found. Remember I can get to some websites. However if I give the client machine a public IP it can get to the problem websites with no problems. Ive looked at this for days and I am at a loss. It just started happening a few days ago. Any help would be appreciated

Please make sure that both public and internal i.p is included on your routing table on your windows 2000. This should be the firstr you need to look. In most cases client pc's in any plaform cannot route properly because they don't know where is the right direction.

hope its help.

The routing table is correct in that to access 0.0.0.0 you go thru the public interface. The internal machine can get to some websites, so the interfaces are correct.

In your advanced network configuration, place your external NIC at a higher priority. Then enter a static route into your routing table for access to the local network.

Unfortunately I knew this would be a doozie. I only have one default gateway and the route is in the routing table
