DHCP/NAT on Win2k AS

[BatmanNate]

I have a box running Win2k Advanced Server. It has two Nics, one connected directly to the ISDN modem (with a static IP) and one connected to the switch on the internal network. What i need it to do is assign IP's to the computers on the internal network, and then translate them to let them out onto the internet, like a router. (with NAT) but I can't figure out how to do it. Any gurus for Win2k AS out there care to help out?

EDIT:

I know I need NAT enabled, I've done this already, and DHCP (NAT's version) works great. THe external NIC is set up as the "Public" interface under the NAT properties and the internal one as the "Private". The public one is configured with several static IP's from my ISDN IP pool. Still, none of the computers can access the internet save the server itself and mine, which both have 2nd nics and statics. What's going on? Since the 2nd NIC in the server actually has a static IP on the ISDN, should I just put that in the IP pool? It points it to the ISDN gateway, and appears to work for the server itself. Help!!

well, you have to enable NAT, and you have to enable DHCP. i'm assuming you're not sure how to do so right?

your client machines can therefore obtain IP's through DHCP

all NAT stuff is obtained through start...programs..admin tools...."internet information services"

if this sounds like what you want to do, let me know, and i can write up some step-by-step stuff

IIS ??? Umm ... that is web hosting and not DHCP / NAT ... in the network and dial-up connections window, right click on the isdn, hit properties and see if there is a sharing tab. if there is, turn it on.

I think that's right, could be wrong.

btw - windows help and google are a superb combo for information.

NAT is accessed through Administrative tools -> Routing and Remote Access.

Just follow the wizard in configuring NAT it's pretty self explainatary I think. Do note that you shouldn't have NAT assigning address AND DHCP running at the same time. Either use NAT's built in "lite" version of DHCP or disable that and use DHCP from Administrative tools.

yeah, sorry bout that. routing and remote access IS where you find NAT, not in IIS (that's where you configure web servers and ftp and stuff)

Thanks for the help guys, but still no luck.
