Nt 4.0 server with non internet compliant ip address wants to join

[mfh]

I run a small shop with 4 servers (3 Novell 1 NT 4.0), about 100 clients (Win 95/98 & NT). I am running a database on the NT server. Originally when I set it up, it was to never communicate with the internet, so we gave it a non-compliant IP address.....<br>
<br>
Now the folks who log onto that server want Email& internet access as well. The Win95/98 clients were easy to solve: I have loaded 2 TCP/IP protocols: one specifying an IP address, etc & the other using DHCP for the NT server. But NT Workstation will not allow me to load a second copy of the TCP/IP protocol. <br>
<br>
Anyone have any suggestions?<br>

Bind a 2nd IP address and mask to the TCP/IP stack. This address would be within the sub-net that has the compliant network range. Otherwise, it is strictly one stack per network card.<br>

How are you planning to connect to the internet? If you put the items behind a firewall, it will do the hiding/address translation and you can leave the non-compliant IP address on the machine.
