Share INTERNET CONNECTION

Hi everybody

I will appreciate any help....
I have a Windows Server 2003 in a small network with 4 workstations running
Windows 98. I want setup a Internet Connection (DSL) on the Server and share
with the 4 workstations. The Server is in a domain controller and I have
static IP adress. The workstations are connected to the Server by a simple
Hub.
I checked on Microsoft Web Site about Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) and
they said Do not use ICS on a network that:

Uses static IP addresses
Has a Windows Server 2003 domain controller
Uses other DNS servers, gateways, or DHCP servers

which is the easy way to install and configure the DSL Internet Connection
on the Server and sharing with the other workstations? I know that I will
need install a second NIC on the Server. But, how I will give the
workstations access to the Internet?
Will appreciate any help!!

NAT.

one nic is external (attatched to or able to get to the internet via another
NAT or router) and the internal which will become the default gateway for
the 98 machines.

Make sure that DNS is provided either via the NAT machine or your own DNS
server.

Its very easy to set up, so try setting it up and then check back if you
have questions.

Hey Borges

Thank you for the information. I will setting it up and if I have some
problems I will post some questions here again...
Just one thing, you said "MAKE SURE THAT DNS IS PROVIDED EITHER VIA THE NAT
MACHINE" you mean configure the clients on Windows 98 with the DNS from the
Internal card or External?
Thank you again.

Either the NAT can simulate the DNS function, in which case you would
configure the clients with the internal NIC address as thier DNS server, or
you you can choose to configure the clients with the external address of
address of an actual DNS server (usually at least two) or with the address
of some other internal DNS server.

You would most definately use an internal DNS server if you use that service
for any internal name resolution.

Hey Borges

Another question. The NIC (external) in the SERVER that I will connect to
the DSL has to have a STATIC IP address? Do I have to call the Service
Provider (in my case is verizon) and ask them to give me an STATIC IP ADDRESS?
Thanks again

Public static IP? no. Dynamic on external is fine.

Not an issue unless people are coming in.
