routing on nt4?

CentralViking19 · 12-31-2007, 05:52 PM

Hello, Question for experts on Windows NT 4.0

My server is Windows NT 4.0, currently hooked up to a Linksys Router with QoS giving full bandwidth the it and low to the other computers and switches.

I want to have my Windows NT Server be the router of my network, I got two NICs in my computer and now i cannot go onto the internet, i spent many many hours last night trying to make the internet on the server work with a pure connection from the modem to the server, i forgot to set my setting to DHCP and then i could get on (my internet is Dynamic IP, so that may present a problem because i cant type in a static IP), Now the thing is, i need the DHCP service to run on the NIC with the internet, then have the DHCP server run on the second NIC which is going to connect to a Switch and the computers will get an IP from the second NIC

If it were XP i wouldnt be here, because i just bridge the connections, but since XP isnt a Domain Server, im here

Thanks and have a Happy New Year!

i got the internet back on, it was a problem with IP's, the server had the same one as another computer on the network, i typed it wrong after putting back in the router, so the internet works fine with the linksys router

but i still would like to know how to have windows NT route the internet

if no has any ideas for NT 4 can you give me instructions on how to do it in windows 2000 server(getting it soon)

thanks so much

happy new year!

With Windows 2000 Server you would need to setup routing and remote access server.

I believe this is the update that allows you to install RRAS on NT 4 http://www.microsoft.com/technet/arc....mspx?mfr=true

You can do it on NT Server 4

routing is a tab under TCP/IP
