RRAS - Client - Internet problem

I know this should be REALLY simple but I'm having real problems, please help.

Trying to set simple network using one Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition
pc and 5 clients. Everything works well apart from the fact that none of the
clients will "route" onto the Internet.

All clients are running fresh installs of Windows XP SP2 and connect to the
server through a simple 16 port switch. The Server(Domain Controller) has 2
Network Adapters, one connecting to the clients and the other connecting to
the Internet through a router.

The server is running AD,DNS and RRAS, it's a new install. All the
networking works fine but the server is the only PC that can access the
Internet! I believe I have configured the network adapters properly but will
make a note to be sure.

Clients - static IPs all have DNS, Gateway pointing to Server lan NIC.

Server NIC (clients) - static IP 192.138.2.3, no gateway, DNS itself,
Netbios disabled
Server Nic (Internet, through router 192.168.2.1) - static IP 192.168.2.2,
gateway 192.168.2.1, DNS 192.168.2.3, "File And Printer Sharing" uninstalled.

I'm pretty sure the DNS is working ok I believe the problem lies withing the
RRAS setup. All I did was run the wizard and chose one NIC for Internet and
the other for local.

What am I doing wrong?

Any help greatly appreciated.

you should not setup both NICs in the server using the same ip range. this case study may help,

As you are running AD, you will also need to modify your DNS setup. The
client machines should all use the local DNS server only (so that AD works
properly). This local DNS server needs to forward to a public DNS server
(such as your ISP) so that it can resolve "foreign" names as well as your
local ones.
