Server multihomed

[Guest]

Hi I have two network adapters on a server :

External : ip a.a.a.a
Gateway : RouterIP

Internal : ip b.b.b.b
Gateway : a.a.a.a (external nic IP)

Clients have :
ip a1.a1.a1.a1 on the same net as a.a.a.a
gateway : b.b.b.b

Do I need any further configuration in order to ping from
a client to the internet ?

In NT I had something like IP routing to enable routing
between the two networks, do i have to do something like
that on W2000Srv ?

TIA

Remove the gateway on the internal card.
Set your client's gateway to the internal card onthe server. The gateway
must be on the same subnet
Enable routing and remote access on the server. Set it up as a NAT box.

You don't want any default gateway on the internal interface of the server.
After you remove it you need to enable RRAS. If your clients have valid
Internet address you only need to make sure the router your external
interface of the server is connected to has a route back to your internal
network. IF your clients do not have valid Internet IP addresses you need to
configure NAT on the server (unless your upstream router is already doing
NAT for you).
