Server can't ping the Internet. Workstations can. 1

[Monsores]

Hi.
We have have a LAN with a Netware SBS 5.1 SP3 Server. This server has 3 Network boards: one for the 192.168.0 network, one for 192.168.1 network and one with a public address.
I configured NAT on this server so that all the workstations on the private network can access any internet address (I disabled the filters support on INETCFG). It's working allright.
But the server itself can't ping any IP adress on the Internet. It can ping any workstation but not an external address. It's happening since I installed Border Manager 3 to test proxy services.
Does anyone know what am I doing wrong?

Hi,

I think that the best idea is to check read this article:

http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/10055157.htm

I will also forward it to you.

Shortly speaking: check if you didn't activate NAT on all your interfaces. This will corrupt your TCPIP.CFG. On that address you will find how to check it, and to recreate it.

Success! Gia Betiu

Thanks a lot!
I changed the line 'NATFiltering on' to 'NATFiltering off' on TCPIP.CFG and everything started working allright. NAT is activated only on the public interface. I had already disabled NAT filtering with INETCFG, but it seems like the changes didn't correct TCPIP.CFG.
I will use the article you sent to create my TCPIP.CFG again.

Thanks again.
