I got a router let say 192.168.0.254.
Win2k server IP 192.168.0.1
my workstation is a Win2k professional log into the Win2k server
but i want my workstation DNS to be 192.168.0.1 and gateway 192.168.0.254...how??

At the moment all my workstation DNS and gateway is 192.168.0.254 to access to the internet.

There are 2 quick-fix solutions...

In the DNS settings, put 192.168.0.1 AND 192.168.0.254 in.

Alternatively, set the server to forward all non-known requests to the 192.168.0.254 ip (or probably better to use the ISPs DNS settings)

Hope that helps

What the hell are you trying to do ?

To access Internet, you need :
- Gateway (router) adress, here 192.168.0.254
- DNS adress(es) provided to you BY YOUR FAI !!!

If no proxy, you need NOTHING else

Ok
First, you have to check and setup on 2000 server:
Ip: 192.168.0.1
sub:255.255.255.0 or (depend on your network)
gatway: 192.168.0.254
DNS: of the router almost is from network provider of the modem you used such as DSL, T1, etc...)
ensureyour server already talk to internet

In the workstation (win 2000pro)
get in the properties of NIC
let's it automatic obtain .... but in the DNS suffix session enter 192.168.0.1
click ok ok

good luck

The way I understand it ... it is either you are running on a static IP address or the router is doing a dual function as a DHCP server. In the inquiry it looks like you you would like your server to be your default gateway. Here is the solution.
If router is a DHCP server .. disable that function.
Configure the server to be a DHCP server and in the DHCP option enable the router service and put the router address in the value. Enable DNS and enter the value etc.. then on the workstation configure it as dhcp client.
I hope this will answer your question.

I agree with #5.
You are making it more difficult then nessary, (although option 1 will work, you will have to 2 points of troubleshoot if something goes wrong)

We want to configure the w2k that configuration will be received from the w2k server.
Make sure the w2k connects to the internet.
Then setup the DHCP server and the appropiate scope options for the clients.

I have included the MS KB for ICS just in case you are doing this setup.
