setting up LAN with NAT

[vib-bitz]

Hi all,
I am working on a project and I need to set up a windows 2000 server
with NAT support.
Presently I am having
1 windows 2000 server with 2 LAN Cards
connected to a switch/router
other lan card is not under use ..

what I would like to do is to connect the other lan card to the
internet and then provide internet access to the users throught the LAN
card on which the server is running the internal one.

I am running server on 192.168.1.100 with Domain controller which is
fully functional.
on the other LAN card I have i'll set up internet connection

when I'll start NAT services then Do i have to
1. run server on the internal network LAN card or it should run on the
LAN card going to connect to the ISP.
2. what all is required to run NAT other than what I have.

thanking you

Once both adapters are installed, the LAN adapater should be your 'primary'
adpater. Right click My Network Places and select Properties. Click
Advanced/Advanced Settings - if the Local Area Connection for the LAN
adapter is not at the top of the binding order, move it there. You can then
use the RRAS wizard to configure NAT - see:

If you just need basic NAT and other services (like DHCP) are provided by
your domain controller, just use ICS. All you have to do is enable ICS for
the WAN interface. It'll change your IP address on the LAN interface to
192.168.0.1, but you can just change it back afterward. Then you'll just
configure your workstations to point to the LAN interface as their default
gateway. You can do this manually or via your DHCP options. I used that
setup for years. It works just fine.
