Re: accessing internet throught Windows 2003 server

Hello Boze,

If the client get's the correct ip configuration including DG and DNS server it should work, except you use some filtering or blocking internal in the domain settings.

If your boss like to have control which machines are accessing internet or special sites, you can use ISA server for filtering and securing your network.

Small remark, connecting the DC directly to the internet is not the best solution. I assume you have multihomed it (2 NIC's. one internal network and one to the internet)? Better connect all machines internally to a switch and also connect the switch to the router, then you can configure your DC/DNS as a forwarder and only the Name resolutions is done via the DC and the clients go the internet without using the DC.

Best regards

We have a network with Windows 2003 Server and XP workstations. The
internet connection is to the server and all the workstations access
the internet through the server after logging onto the domain.

My question... could a computer, without logging into the domain,
access the internet through the network? My boss unplugged one of the
workstations from its network jack, plugged his laptop into that jack
and says he should be able to access the internet. It's not working
and I don't want to try to figure it out only based on his word that
it should work.

Thanks
Boze
