Configuring Win2K Server as a router

[jonwilbanks]

I know this is a lot to ask but could anyone tell me how to configure Win2K server as a router between 2 networks?

I have a Win2K DC with two NICs.
Nic1 is addressed 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
Nic2 is addressed 10.0.8.200 255.255.248.0

I have enabled RRAS on the server but I am not sure about the static route entries I need.
I can ping Nic2 from a client in the 192.168.0 network but I can't ping the router(10.0.8.1) connected to the other network. So I am obviously not routing.

What should the default gateways be on the respective Nics in the server and what should the gateway settings be for the clients in the 192.168.0 network?
What should the static routes be?
If anybody has the time to give me a step by step it would be gratefully appreciated.

The 10.0.8.0 network is connected to a different domain than the server I am trying to route on.
Could that be a problem?

Rites shouldn't be an issue when it comes to something as basic as pinging. You can ping microsoft, but you're not part of there domain. Try a tracerout from both machines, and ipconfig /all from both machines and see if anything is strange. Glen A. Johnson

Tracert will not work past the server I can trace the 10.0.8.200 address but not the router at 10.0.8.1

As far as ipconfig goes I'm not really sure what to look for.
Here is the current layout:
Nic1 is addressed 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 Default gateway none
Nic2 is addressed 10.0.8.200 255.255.248.0 Default gateway 10.0.8.1

It seems to work now. I deleted the static routes I had tried and setup RIP on both interfaces. Previously I had only been pinging from the 192.168.0 network this still did not work. Then I tried a ping from the 10.0.8 side to the 192.168.0 client and it did work, after that everything started pinging everything else.

I would still be very interested to know what static routes I would need to make it work, so if anybody can tell me please do.

Hi,

Could you not just set up two static routes? e.g. one for the 192 network and once for the 10 network.

route add -p 10.0.8.0 mask 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1
route add -p 192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.255.0 10.0.8.200

I'm not sure if this is correct but you could give it a try?
