Hello all, I have two servers, one running Windows Server 2003 and the other is running Windows Server 2000.

Here is the network structure:

2003:
NIC 1 = Cable internet
NIC 2 = 5 port switch

2000:
Cisco Wireless Card = Public city wireless connection
NIC = 5 port switch

The 2003 machine is setup as a local domain controller and also has routing and remote access enabled. It is setup as a DHCP server and a file server also. Basically I want this server to be the in charge of everything.

The 2000 machine I want to use for a small private test web server. I want the web server to use the wireless connection and just use the NIC to connect to the local network for file and print sharing.

I am having a difficult time figuring out exactly how to setup the 2000 machine to do this. Anyone willing to run me through the process or able to point me in the right direction or perhaps a web site with the pertinent info?

Thanks!

This has disaster written all over it.

Your domain controller probably shouldn't be a DHCP server, but it definitely is a bad idea for it to be the router going to the internet! Get a SOHO router for that.

It is a bad idea to be running a multihomed Windows server running stuff like web services, or any other application. You're asking for trouble.
