simple question - ras client

[Bill Oeftering]

I have a win2000 server connected to a router and routing to the LAN just
fine. I'm trying to set up RAS to allow RAS clients to route the internet.
The LAN IP of the the router computer is 192.168.0.1. When the RAS client
connects the gateway is always the same as the IP address assigned.
Shouldn't the gateway be 192.168.0.1 ?
BTW I've looked at many Microsoft KB articles but none explain this.
TIA Bill

The gateway is correct. The client's gateway is the RAS connection, and
its IP is the "received" IP. Your client is sending all traffic to the RAS
server via the RAS link.

Is your RAS server doing NAT for the LAN clients? NAT does not work for
dialup clients, because the internal interface they connect to is not
connected to NAT. To fix this, enter this at a command prompt.

netsh routing ip nat add interface internal private

This command makes the RAS interface an input to NAT.
