sorry im not too sure what you mean by.. "you cannot have
your clients using the default DHCP settings of your
router."
at the moment the clients are using dynamic ip and
automatic dns settings.
so do you mean i should set the clients dns to point to
the DC(which runs as NAT,DHCP,DNS)?
this is what i have done so far with no sucess.
i have installed a NAT with the "Routing and Remote Access
Server Setup Wizard".
I selected "Create a new demand dial interface to the
internet" option and selected the NIC that will connect to
the internet.
then i went into 'administrative tools-Routing and Remote
Access',expanded 'my server-IP Routing' and there are 3
interfaces. there is the one that i created with the
wizard and an 'internal' and 'external' one. should i
confugure all of these? or should i just configure the one
that i created?
then i configured forwarders. in 'administrative tools-
DNS' i right click the server then in the 'fowarders' tab
i click on 'new' then type in the ISPs DNS IPs and
click 'add'.
sory if i seem a little slow in still new at this and im
really eager to get this working!
thanks for all your help guys.
