It seems that the proper way to setup an internet access with a private network is to setup a seperate NIC as a DMZ(?) connected to the router to the public network. I have installed such NIC and connected a DS router (827) to it (though still having router setup problems). Our network has a PDC (10.127.1.2) and a database server (10.127.3), Win98 and WinNT4 stations (10.127.1.x), a Cisco 2620 router (10.127.1.4) with T1 connecting to remote location 2620 (10.127.2.4) and a group of PC's (10.127.2.x), all static addresses.
I would appreciate feedback as to what the DMZ does, how to set it up, and any suggestions to addressing the new NIC and router.
