ICS on 2003 Domain controller

[babalwan2000]

hi guys

I've just registered my domain name with a free dns service and have provided my broadband Ip address.
I've also built a win2k3 domain controller which is connected to the internet.my problem arises when I try and plug a wireless router into the second network adapter, I realised that ICS should not be enabled on a domain controller. How can I have my domain controller online and the wireless router as well?
I hope this makes sense. Thanks

Use NAT to direct traffic from the router to the server.

I've managed to setup the NAT. My second Nic is connected to a wireless router, how do I configure this to work.
I followed the wizard in remote access and routing and selected the second nic for the internal network.
I then connected my wireless router to it and then still cant get internet on it.
hope this makes sense. please advise.

Internet===>Router w/NAT===>Server External NIC 10.0.0.2

Intranet===>Switch=========>Server Internal NIC 192.168.0.2

The above is just an example of how to configure this. Use whatever IP schemes you want.

Alternatively you can use just one NIC on the Server

Internet===>Router w/NAT===>Switch===>Server NIC 192.168.0.2

Hi Markdmac

Sorry this still hasn't worked.
I use a belkin F5D7230-4 router which has a firewall and NAT capabilities. I went to the port forwarding properties on the router and and added my webserver's IP address.
I registered my Ip address with a Dns Service, not sure what happened but now when I type in

http://mydomainname.com

I get my router's configuration page, instead of my website. I'm now attempting to flash my wifi router and start all over again.
Not sure if this is the right forum for me to post this.

your help is most appreciated, thanks

You need to direct specific ports, so for port 80 direct it to the IP you want.

Thanks Markdmac

Port forwarding was my answer. I had a virtual servers option on the router. I added the internal address of my webserver
and now I can now share the internet.

Sorry for the delay but great thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
