ICS and DHCP?????

[jaredthensomenumbers]

Hi

I have a network set up at my workplace, where I have 2 Servers. one is my ICS server, and the other has DHCP and DNS. Before, i only had the ICS server, and all was working fine. However, now that I have the new server with DHCP and DNS, i can not seem to acess the Internet from any of my client computers!!!! My ICS server has WIN2K Pro, and my other server has WIN2K Server. All my clients have WIN2K Pro, with IPs set to "obtain automatically". The DHCP has a scope that gives out leases to the clients from IP 192.168.0.3-192.168.0.20, as my ICS server is set statically to 192.168.0.1 and my other DHCP/DNS server is set to 192.168.0.2. What am i doing wrong?

Any help would be very grateful.

Cheers

You cannot use ICS and DHCP on the same network. ICS runs a "baby" version of DHCP itself. When you enable DHCP, you cause a conflict. Either use DHCP on one server and enable RRAS for network routing, or turn off DHCP and use only ICS....

Matt is correct. You could do this with 2 dhcp servers, but not with the setup you've got. Since you had everything working before, I'd go with Matt's awnser, and just turn off the dhcp service. All else will work. Good luck.

Thanks alot. One last question, can RRAS be set up as a router (for the internet connection) on the same server as the DHCP server? i.e. so that you don't have to have 2 servers. Thanks again. You've been a great help!

It sounds like what you want to do is setup a vpn, correct? Are you wanting incoming and outgoing connections?

Yes RRAS can be setup on the same server as DHCP. Are you wanting to do this for VPN, as Glen suggests, or for Windows network routing? Or both?

You have to reply what you want to accomplish as Glen and Matt said, anyway the way I see you want to have some kind of replacement of your ICS that will accomodate DHCP as well, correct?

What you need is NAT, it's a feature from RRAS. Try this

Matt is right, i want both a VPN server and for NAT. But if that is not possible, just for NAT. SO can, DHCP be on these servers as well?

Thanks
