Network configuration problem

Hi,

I have what is probably a fairly basic problem.

I have a win2k3 server standard, with two nics, one external and one internal.

The external nic connects to a wireless router. The router address is
192.168.0.1. The ip address for the external

nic is 192.168.0.2.

DHCP is enabled on the server. The internal nic's ip address is 192.168.16.2.

I can ping the server (192.168.16.2) from a xp professional laptop connected
to a switch from the server's internal nic. I cannot, however, ping the
laptop (192.168.16.11) from the server.

Moreover, I cannot connect to the internet from either the server or the
laptop with my current configuration. Although, I can establish a wireless
connection to the internet from the laptop.

I am able to NET USE to the server from the laptop. The laptop is not
joined to the domain.

Questions:
*why can I not establish an internet connection from the server? What do I
need to do differently?
*why can't I ping the laptop from the server?

Thanks!
