Re: Internet connetivity over LAN problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi Lanwench,

I really appreciate your time for my problems.
But what you think If I ditch my ICS ??what is the possibility.
I am trying this configuration for particular reason,If u want i can ditch
my ICS....


Now I tried a different method it is working.I kept my ICS on XP pro.
Then I configured my 2003 sever with an ip address 192.168.0.x, D.G with the
ICS XP Pro addressand made it as a an AD-I domain xxx.com.Also i have
configured DHCP server on the w2k3 computer.
Then I joined my 2000 server with the preferred DNS server with ip address
of 2003 and D.G with the ICS XP Pro address.

But now everything is working,but I am pretty sure you never use this kind
of configuration in the real world.What kind of devices and configuration we
use it for Domain -internet connection in the real world.

What are the minimim requirement ,like how many SUS,D.C,ROUTERS(what kind of
devices),for example for 400 users in a single domain environment in a 4
different location(Either for 2003 or 2000).If you could atleast give me any
links i would be very grateful.
once again thanks for all your contribution.
