I have a Sever 2008 server based network with 75 clients the LAN configuration of this network as follows IP : 10.50.1.1 mask: 255.255.0.0 gateway: blank this server running DHCP and DNS as well I got ADSL Internet connection from my home ISP they provided us a one ADSL router with 192.168.1.0 network my question is, how can I configure my server and client machines to connect to the internet. my sever has 2 NIC as well any answer grately appreciated

Hi vidurinda, Thanks for posting here. Basically If you have two interfaces on this server , you may consider to set server as the internet gateway by installing RRAS and enabling NAT to share the internet connection for internal host. Here are the detail steps on how to implement that by running the wizard on Windows Server 2003, but should also apply to Windows Server 2008, hope it will help you . Please note the default gateway entry .

I would not do that if this server is a DNS server, and certainly not if it is a DC. Multihoming a DC/DNS server can cause all sorts of problems. Bill

there is one easier way.you can change the adsl routers lan address to the same subnet(10.50.1.0).then you can use that ip address as a gateway of the clients and the server.from the server configure dns forwader to the ur isp or even Google dns(8.8.8.8).from ur dhcp scope u can easily configure gateway address Darshana Jayathilake

I would also recommend that you do not multihome this server. Simply connect all of your internal hosts to your ADSL Router/Switch. I have a summary which can provide you with some guidance.
