2003 NIC issue

Guys,

I was wondering if I could get some help. I installed Win2003 Enterprise edition and I have 2 NIC's installed. I want to use this PC as a ISA server inbetween my ISP and my network. I can get the NIC that I setup for my internet connection to communicate with my ISP but the other NIC will not communicate with the internal Network and or the NIC that is connect to my ISP.

I didn't know if I had to install RIP or not. I want to check with you guys to be sure what I should do.

can anyone hel

Thanks Brandon

The NIC facing your LAN must *not* have a Default Gateway. Any "routes"
required by it must be statically entered in the OS's Routing Table. The NIC
must also be the first priority NIC in the:
NetworkPlaces-->Properties-->Advanced-->AdvancedSettings.
Typically it already is if it was the first NIC installed

The NIC facing the ISP is the only one that should have a Default Gateway.

Traffic will not move between the two NICs unless "Routing" is enabled.
Don't fool with that yourself, let the ISA installation handle setting that
up according to what it wants.
