How to share internet connection with remote users

[neptune2k]

I have Windows 2000 server installed on my machine and only a network adapter 10/100 and a terminal adapter ISDN. I use the first line to connect my server to the ISP and the second line to accept dial-in connection.
I have configurated my server with a primary domain controller, I have started RRAS service and the IP routing but when remote users are connected with my server, they view only my Intranet web site and the folders of the server but don't gain access to internet!

How to share internet connection with remote users?

My hardware configuration is:

AMD Athlon 750MHZ
512MB SDRAM
30GB HD
Sound Blaster Live!
ATI Expert 2000
DVD, CDROM, CD-RW
Network Adapter Ethernet Realtek 10/100
USB TA ISDN

Neptune2k,

Use RRAS to create a basic NAT translation when dialing in. The basics are that the dial-in accounts are going to gain an IP via RRAS DHCP. I set the scope of the DHCP to non routable ip addresses.(Ex. 192.168.1.X) The NAT interface will be internal and external. Internal will be the dialup interfaces on the 192.168.1.X and external will be the NIC in the server. The internet requests will be translated accross the NAT interface. If I remember correctly this the basics of what is needed.

Hope this helps a little.

How can I set the scope of the DHCP to non routable ip addresses?

RRAS has this feature within. I looked on microsoft's web site to confirm. There were many documents that may satisfy your question. The document labled below I think will answer many of your questions as to configuration.

"HOW TO: Configure a Windows 2000 Server as a Network Address Translation Server (Q299801) "

Here is how I got there:

Advanced Search in the top left
Keywords I searched on "RRAS dial up nat internet"
I scrolled down to #10 and that was the document that I listed above.

Hope this helps,

Thanks a lot....ras client can gain access to the internet, now.
but there is a problem:
when a ras client inserts a web address in the browser (ex.

http://www.microsoft.com),

the server doesn't perform the request and client browser returns an error. But, if client inserts, in the address bar, Microsoft's IP Address (207.46.197.102), the server permorms the request successfully.

How can i resolve this DNS problem?

Try having your remote user uncheck "use default gateway on remote network" on his ras dialer properties so he will use his dns name server instead of your dns name server to resolve web names.
