providing internet access

[arfollosco]

My aim is to provide internet access to an offsite employee. Office network
would act like an ISP but offering only web surfing.

Offsite client has Win98 and a dial-up modem..
Office has Win NT network (PDC, BDC), Win2k Server as proxy server connected
to the ISP via DSL.

I've installed a dial-up modem (same model as client's) on the Win2k server
and configured RRAS. Initial efforts were unsuccessful - client was able to
log in to the network but IE showed nothing. If I remember right, the error
has something to do with DNS.

Any ideas on what I could have missed?

which DNS is the client using? posting the result of ipconfig /all here may
help.

Sorry for the late reply as I was on-leave due to the death of my mother.

Many thanks for you replies, Robert and Bill.

Unfortunately, the test client I was using was re-configured so that I can
no longer verify the settings. As far as I remember, the client was using
the DNS addresses of my DSL provider.

I hope you can help me correctly configure the proxy settings as I can no
longer recall. But I do remember setting up the dialup networking for
dialling the office modem.
