You will need to enable NAT services on this router. The rest of the internet does not know about your internal network especially if you are using a private IP range (10.x.x.x, 172.16.x.x, 192.168.x.x). Therefore your only option is to enable NAT on the router so that every outbound packet appears to be originating from the 2003 Server's public interface. You dont need to create static routes from outside your network. Visit my blog: anITKB.com, an IT Knowledge Base.

Hello, Thank you for your post here. Yes, in the scenarios that you have the private network it is not necessary to use static routing. You can achieve the goal by install RRAS and enable the NAT to provide internet access for internal users. If the issue persists, please provide the IPconfig /all from the client and Windows Server 2003 server. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let us know.
