Hello guys! I have a problem configuring my server using routing and remote access and NAT. Basically, I want to share the Internet Connection only for my PC in LAN, not for all the PC's in it. [ I don't want, and I don't need to use a DHCP server, we have the IP's in LAN like this: 6.6.6.XXX and subnet 255.0.0.0 We don't use any DHCP server for the LAN. (if that matters) ] If somebody can help me... I really, really apreciate it. And if someone has time to explain, step by step it will be excellent Thank you, Adrian!

Ok one question, if you only want that PC on the internet, why bother with RRAS/NAT? Simply put a second NIC in it, configure it for DHCP and connect it to the broadband. The smart thing would be to put a cheap highspeed internet router in between. Then have the other NIC configured for the LAN. No muss, no fuss and you don't need to try to figure out how to make RRAS/NAT work. If you don't mind me asking....why would you run Windows 2003 server on such a low end piece of equipment? It seems pretty obvious you don't know your way around that OS very well and it's not a desktop OS so most games won't run on it.

Seems that you don't understand my problem. 1. I don't have the money now to spend for a router ;) 2. I have that PC (IBM) running win 2003, only for services.. like... webserver ftp server, mail server.. dns server... etc etc. If I want games, I'll play them on my PC wich is a "decent" computer:) 3. I have a LAN with 50 neighbours, and I don't want other ppl to "steal" Internet from me:) I know there is, Kerio Winroute Firewall, for example, but I don't want to use other software. I guess the 2003 server, with all the tools in it, it's stable and ok. Now I user Internet Conection Sharing, but... anyone from LAN, who put's my server IP in their gateway, has internet from me. So... it's that so hard to setup RRAS/NAT?

No actually it's pretty easy....but then I have training and experience with windows domains and installing/configuring/administering/maintaining servers. You can't afford $40 - $50 for a router? Get your 50 neighbours to kick in a dollar per person and then you will be able to. Tell them it's for use of your LAN resources. No matter what you do, you need a firewall and antivirus unless you want to watch your server get hacked or full of virus'. I can recommend Zone Alarm firewall by Zone Labs. Although I'm not 100% they make a free server version or whether or not the free version will run on 2003. There's one way to find out.... I still think your best bet is to do what I said, use a second NIC for your internet connection on that PC. If you don't enable ICS, other user's can't get on the internet. The same is true for RRAS/NAT. Your server doesn't require either to connect directly to the internet anymore than any other PC running XP or 2000 Pro directly connected like this requires ICS or RRAS.
