can someone give me a lowdown on how to use NT 4 server to act as an internet gateway for my LAN. I have a 2-pc LAN (10base-t) with a nt server connected to a cablemodem and the other running win98
win98 is able to ping the cablemodem ip as well as the internal server ip, but the 98 machine cannot ping outside addresses
when i type route print on the 98 machine, it only has listings for its own IP not cablemodem or server
how should i change this? do you need more info?
Alternatively, if you just want to make the NT server route (with no filtering or protection), follow this:
1) Install 2 NICs in the NT server - one for local, one for the cable modem.
2) Turn IP Forwarding ON on the NT server (in the properties for TCP/IP under Network in Control Panel).
3) Define the internal and external routes on the NT server using ROUTE commands.
4) Alternatively, download the Coppermine (Routing and Remote Access) upgrade from Microsoft's website and enter your routing in the RRAS table.
5) Configure your clients to use the NT machine as the default gateway.
It doesn't provide any filtering or protection, but it will do the job.
