Client PC access internet in a domain

[DX]

I set up a domain controller PC. This PC has two network
cards. One network card has a routable ip address so it
can browser internet. The other network card has private
ip address 192.168.0.1. I hook up this network card with
a switch so other pcs can connect to this domain
controller and receive ip address from the DHCP service
runing on the DC. Now my problem is, my client computers
can't browse internet. They only have one nic cards, and
I want the DC pc as serve as the internet gateway. I don't
think i should use Internet Connection Sharing service
because it won't work for a domain controller. What other
method can i enable the domain controller to share its
internet connection? I guess i will have to set up the DC
as an internet proxy server. If so, where can I get a
good tutorial about setting up a pc as proxy server?
Should I set up the DC pc as a router? (I don't want to
just purchase a router for this experiment). If there are
other methods, could you also recommend me a good link to
the set up? Thank you very much.

Enable Routing and Remote Access on that computer and then enable NAT in I
believe the routing protocols and configure it from there. The onboard help
files should be able to get you started. --- Steve

Make sure the internal nic has a blank gateway.
You've got DNS-server installed, right?
DNS on both internal and external nic should point to your server-IP.
External nic should be in a different IP-range. Only TCP/IP should be bound
to it.
Check bindingorder in Network Connections, Advanced, advanced and make sure
the internal nic is on top.
In DNS-server, tab Forwarders, you'll put the ISP-DNS-numbers.
In DHCP server, Scope options, make sure options 003, 006 and 015 are set,
and if you have W9x, ME or NT4-clients, WINS should be installed and options
044 and 046 (0x8) should be set as well.
Make sure the clients obtain an IP and DNS from the DHCP-server
automatically.
