setup default gateway ?

Hi,

I need to setup my small LAN to route all outbound traffic via a
windows 2003 server (where i want to do some ip filtering etc).

I currently have all PCs on the LAN using the ADSL router
(192.168.1.1) as the default gateway. I want to change this so they
used a server (192.168.1.2) as the default gateway and then for that
server to route the traffic to the ADSL router (192.168.1.1).

How do I configure the server (192.168.1.2) to forward the traffic on
to the router?

Thanks

First a warning. If you are planning to run the server as a domain
controller, don't even think about it! Using a DC as a router is a no-no.

You can't really do this without a bit of reconfiguation of your
network. You would need to put two NICs in your server. You would need to
put the ADSL router and the "public" NIC of the server in a different IP
subnet from the "private" NIC of the server and the other LAN machines. You
would also need to add extra routing to the ADSL router so that it knew how
to forward traffic for the "inside" subnet to the RRAS router.

First the DSL "router" *is* your filtering device and you should look to see if
it will meet the need.

If it won't....

Replace the DSL "router" with the "filtering server". Configure it as Bill and
Mike suggested.

There is no point in creating a Back-to-Back DMZ,..which is what leaving the DSL
"router" there causes. Unless of course you want such a DMZ, and know exactly
what one is, know exactly what you want it for, and know exactly why.
