Hi,

Ive been struggling with the SBS product for the last 7 days or so. Its
everything but small business friendly. Even friends of mine who do
enterprise development are scratching their heads.

I want to let my workstations to access the internet and shared folders
residing on the server, which connects to the internet on a separate network
card.

- Internet works on my server
- Internet doesnt work on my workstations
- I cannot ping external IP addresses on workstations, but I can ping the
server and my firewalls IP on the servers side.
- I can access companyweb from workstations (so it obviously resolves the IP)
- I can log in on a workstation using active directory on the server (IE log
in in my .local domain)
- The workstations are accessing my server via a wireless router
- The workstations are using dhcp I believe (happened by chance!!), because
any attempts by me to use static IPS have been unsuccessful so far.

Heres my setup:

Firewall ****
(Cable modem in WAN1, 192.168.16.2 in LAN1)
IP: 192.168.111.1

SERVER ****
LAN Connection
192.168.16.2
255.255.255.0
DNS: 192.168.16.2
 
InternetConnection
192.168.111.2
255.255.255.0
192.168.111.1
DNS: 4.4.4.2

Lan Wireless Router ****
(192.168.16.2 in internet / linkup )
(192.168.16.100 in LAN1)
IP: 192.168.11.1

Workstation Computer ****
(gets something like this thru dhcp)
192.168.16.100
255.255.255.0
192.168.11.1
 
- The wizards suck, and they havent done anything for me except to ruin
things.

I dont want everything to go to hell again, so Im not going to touch those
wizards.

Can anyone tell me exactly what I need to do in order for users to be able
to access shared folders on my server, and to be able to get internet access
on those computers?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks!

kind regards,

Christian Toivola
