Ok, here is the situation. I have 2 Windows 2000 Servers and about 35 clients. One of the servers is set up as the main AD and Data server, it's running DHCP and DNS. The second server just servers data for one department and also has a back up of the AD data.
To make matters more interesting there is a wireless bridge separating one of the servers and about 10 of the clients. We do that to share Internet connection and keep us on the same network. Normally that's not a big deal, but the new wireless hardware only allows 8 clients to attach to it, and you guessed it we can't return it.
No problem I figure I'll just put another NIC in the second server and use it as a router. I've read through Microsoft's help documents and scoured the web, but I just can't seem to get it to work. I don't claim to be an expert at this stuff so there is probably a really simple solution that is just eluding me.
I don't care how it happens, so long as it's relatively simple to set up and maintain. All I need is the clients on the other side of the wireless to be able to get out to the web and access network shares. This seems simple I've configured "Routing and Remote Access" the way I thought it should be, but I just can't jump from one side of the router to the other.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, also if you require any additional information about anything just ask.
Thanks in Advance.
