Windows 2K Terminal Server, routing and internet.

[butchrecon]

Here is my proble. I have at a customers site a Windows 2000 Server running Terminal Services. It is not a DC. I also have 2 branch sites and an internet router. The server IP is 192.168.100.25
Main Router is 192.168.100.220
Branch 1 is 192.168.101.220
Branch 2 is 192.168.102.220
Internet router is 192.168.100.225.
My problem is how to set up internet at the branches through Terminal services. Whenever I setup the default gateway with the internet router IP and statically map the IPs to the branches it works, however the TS server constantly looses it route to each PC. If I set the default gateway as the Main router The Terminal Server looses its Internet access. Any one have any ideas? James Collins

What a mess. Whos changing the routing around? You may not know the dialup connection if used will change the routing around, but should revert back when they disconnect.

What are you using for your internet router ?

help me help you.. <G>

Problem solved.
It seems that even if windows doesn't ask for it, rebooting the server while the remote access interface is de-activated does the trick. NAT works fine now.

Thanx

No one but me messes with the server. The internet router is a webramp. The way it is SUPPOSED to be set up is you use its IP address as the default gateway and then input the DNS IP addresses of the ISP servers. Works great on all machines. It will even work on the terminal Server itself. However, if the internet is set up then the branch PCs cannot communicate. I can map static IPs through route add -p and they will work fine. The problem is after a few minutes the route I just mapped and made persistant dissapear. I cannot figure out why. James Collins
