My NAT server is a win 2k adv server, domain controller(192.168.0.1) which is connected to the net by dialup modem. My second machine is a win 2k pro client. I would like to continue using DHCP AND DNS on my Domain controller if possible. My ISP allocates random IP's. Can't seem to get it to work. -sounds like an exam question :) I have tried running through everything in the resource kit and I am obviously missing something.

Have you tried setting up Internet Connection Sharing on the DC. That will allow all PC's on your network to share a single PC's modem dialup.

You can set it up by right clicking on your Dial up icon in Network Properties and go to sharing, and putting a check in the box for Internet connection sharing.

Cheers ....

you cannot set up ICS through a domain controller. It doesn't work. Can't use it with dhcp, dns or static internal IP's either.

I have been puzzled in the past as to why a simple NAT install doesn't work.

Answer: Previous ICS installation. Did you try at some point ICS?

I've had to blow out installs that tried ICS because it writes configuration files that are not erased when you deselect "Share this connection"

Hope that helps,

Bruce
