Re: Guidance with NAT on W2K3

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



you should use 216.66.77.1 and 192.168.0.1 (no 0 at end).

Thanks for the input and the links Robert,

I really don't have any issues with my DNS setup, I was more concerned with
the details of setting up NAT and the settings of both NICS. I'm a little
fuzzy as to where to "plug in" the correct IP addresses for the NICS. I have
read all the articles related to NAT but am unsure about the DG and subnet
mask settings for both NICS. Can you still provide some feedback given the IP
addresses I provided in my first post? Also, I do not plan on using the DHCP
locator service within NAT, as all my clients will have static mappings.

Thx again,
Bill
