XP Workstations dont have Internet Access?

Hi, I have recently set up Server 2003 Std, and have been unable to surf
the internet on any of the workstations that are connected through the AD,
the settings of the LAN connection on the server are -
IP of 192.168.1.200 (default subnet)
Gateway - 192.168.1.1
DNS - 192.168.1.200

I have configured DNS on the server and have added my ISP's into the
forwarding and as such i am able to surf the net on the server without any
problems.

DHCP is allocating the worksations ip address / gateway / dns etc and
reads as follows

Ip Address - 192.168.1.201
Gateway - 192.168.1.200
DNS - 192.168.1.200

Thus the internet traffic should be going threw the server 2003, however
this doesnt seem to work.

Any Possible Ideas?

Thanks
Peter

The DNS setup looks fine, but the gateway settings look wrong. If your
Internet router is at 192.168.1.1 , the clients should be using that as
their default gateway, not the server.

You only use the server IP as the gateway if the server is acting as
your Internet router. That would require the server to be multihomed - not a
good idea for a DC.

Oh, i was going to put isa 2004 on later on, but as you say probably isnt
a good idea on the DC.
Thanks
