NT Server Routing?

I am running two computers - one with NT 4.o Enterprise Server, the other with Windows 98 Second Edition.

The First one (NT Server) is connected to my DSL provider and I can access it fine (which is how I am sending this). The second NIC is configured 192.168.119.1 (subnet 255.255.255.0) and routing in NT Server is turned on. The NT Server is a Primary Domain Controller

This second NIC is connected to a computer running Win 98 and has IP address 192.168.119.5 (with 192.168.119.1 - the other machine - as a gateway).

The wiring is OK - I can see each machine from the other and the W98 can ping both of the server's nic's. However, the Win98 box can ping no farther than the nt server box. I have routing turned on, but I can't ping any url (name or number) beyond the NT box.

Any Thoughts?

TIA,
Mike
 
first check the TCP/IP settings on your server, make sure the internal NIC does not have a gateway set (only the external NIC should have a gateway)
next go to the client and try a tracert to an internet IP.
post the output of your tracert

if that works,
make sure your client is pointing to an internet DNS server for name resolution (or you could set up DNS on your NT server and use forwarders...) Peter Van Eeckhoutte

Check the routing table for the server
the 0.0.0.0 address should be your gateway
