Client Dial-up Connection and Routing

[jbovell]

Basic scenario - client at home with laptop dials into w2k server that has permanent Internet connection.
No problems. NAT assigns IP, can open Exchange mailbox - everything works - but one thing. No internet.
DNS resolves fine but external ping times out. Thus browsing doesn't work.

All the doco i have read indicates it can be done - if I delete routes and then add those routes back with new correct metric it still doesn't bloody work

Maybe i'm missing something - but its really starting to piss me off.

Anyway any help at all would be appreciated.

Have you any proxy software running or shared a internet connection?

Have you put IP forwarding on all Network connections?

I think you might need Proxy Server 2 or try Microsoft ISA server (Beta 3) it's free to download at the moment.

These are the only things i can think of that would stop it from working.....

Thanks.

You are correct - since i posted i have found out that there is a way to enable RRAS and IP Routing on a single server. However its an absolute bitch - you need to create routing interfaces for each and every user.

So bugger it i went and installed a second server with ISAS (Beta 3) on. It works a treat - ISAS handles all IP routing while PDC handles RRAS. Too Easy.

Cheers again.
