RRAS Internet connection server question

by dominicjohnson83 . Updated 20 years, 9 months ago

Hi Guys and Girls,

I really need your help on this question:

I have a Windows 2000 Server with two network cards.

Eth1 – LAN
192.168.0.1
255.255.255.0
GW- 192.168.0.1
DNS 192.168.0.1

Eth2 – Handles Internet connection provided by a ADSL Firewall router.

10.0.0.4
255.0.0.0
10.0.0.1
DNS – some isp address

The Windows box is set as a domain controller, dhcp server, dns server.
Internet browsing is excellent on the server.

My aim is to get access from 192.168.0.10 to 10.0.0.1 to browse the
internet without enabling the rediculous internet connection sharing
mechanism on my box.

I have tried setting up RRAS (internet connection server – router with
NAT
routing protocol) and it doesnt seem to
work…

Also tried setting up a static route:

Interface: eth2 (internet)
destination : 10.0.0.1
network mask : 255.255.255.255
gateway: 192.168.0.1

Errors when trying to reach www.google.com from client machine
(192.168.0.10) with RRAS activated on the server:
request timed out

Cannot ping 10.0.0.1
Can ping 10.0.0.4

When RRAS is turned off i can resolve www.google.com to an IP obviously
because of my DNS server (192.168.0.1). and still cant ping…

Setting up internet connection sharing seems to do all weird things to my
server such as blow up dns or active directory or dhcp.

In dhcp i have the following scope options –

DNS Server- 192.168.0.1
Router – 10.0.0.4 (i have also tried with 192.168.0.1)

Do you think asking my ISP for a bridged connection to the net may help
solve this issue??

any input would be appreciated.. or if you have any furtner questions im
more than willing to find out the answers for u.

regards

dom
