NAT Configuration

[Manu]

Hi,

I have a Win2000server network as a domain.The
network uses static IP address.One of the client system
has a Win200 Professional installed which has a web
connection through a network card from ISP.No other
machine has Internet connection in this network.Now i am
planning to give Internet connection to some of the other
machines in this network.Can I use NAT for this?If I am
using this technique can i use any security for other
machines in network for "not accessing the web"?
Can anyone help me in setup NAT?
Regards,
Manu

Nat will be a really easy config.

Just enable RRAS on the Windows 2000 Server and enter the RRAS MMC.

Then goto IP Routing and right click on General. Add a new routing protocol.
(NAT). Once this is done, do a right click on Nat and a new Interface. Add
one for Internal (Private) and one for External (Public). On the External,
make sure you check the box "Translate TCP/UDP Headers".

Then just make sure you point the DG's of the clients to the Internal nic on
the server. Wa-la

Make sure DNS etc is working as well.

You need to install and run RRAS with NAT protocol on that PC. Set the
default gateway on the other PC's to point to the internet machine. You
should really consider using DHCP.
OTTOMH I don't think you will be able to configure user or machine based
security without something more advanced like a firewall Eg. Microsoft ISA
Server.
Perhaps just leave the gateway blank for machines who shouldn't have access?
