We have a server machine running windows 2000 server. Two network cards.
I am a novice at advanced networking, but we had basic a LAN setup through a USB wireless 8054 router. Simple, no problem.
Now I want to adjust this simple LAN setting to allow a VPN to access the network/domain from remote, outside the office.
The server has two network cards. Previously I kept the internet connection into the wireless router and then into one network card.
Because I want a VPN enabled, I switched the static DSL internet connection into one of the network cards (static ip 216.x.x.x), and I attached the the wireless router based LAN into the other network card.
I can connect to the internet from the server, and ping all the network computers. Of course the internet connection no longer works for the other domain stations.
So I start up routing and remote access services. It seems pretty easy to setup but... I lose all connectivity to the internet on the server machine, but can still ping the LAN computers and router.
What can I do if I wish to have the LAN computers through the router connect to the internet, and still have the server configured for remote access?
Is my difficulty because I need to configure the USR 8054 wireless router another way (perhaps the correct way?)... can I have the LAN still connect through the router or does every machine now have to connect through the VPN to the domain????
I am a novice but am learning quickly, and any help to get me through this would be greatly appreciated.
