internet share in win2k server

is that the outgoing network card
or the internal newtwork card
i also use ADSL for internet connection
do i need a routler?
now i use netgear nf108 switch
 
If you're using 2 NICS in your machine and routing through them, then you enable ICS on NIC 1 (outgoing)

i see no need for a router if you have a switch...the win2k box becomes the router.

you run DSL into NIC1 and out NIC2 into switch...then ICS does the rest
 
yes i am using two network card
first network card connect to switch
second network card connect to DSL modem
i try to use sygate version 4
but the client computer can't connect
also i'm running win2k server
 
Go into your network settings,go into the properteies of the card that has access to the internet,click on the sharing tab.

Then click Enable Internet Connection Sharing for this connection.


you should setup the other NIC with an ip of 192.168.0.1 , then setup the other pcs to obtain ip from server (DHCP).
 


<< Don't forget to install netBEUI protocol, or you won't be able to share that connection.😉 >>



you don't need netbeui..just tcp/ip
 
i will try it torromow,
and will inform you guy the resoult
also how do i know if the clients are enable for recieve ip thought DHCP
 
hmm.. You're right about that socrates, and I officially withdraw my statement.

I just uninstalled the protocol, and everything still works fine. I just always installed it because I read a how to guide on annoyances.org on setting up ICS with w2k and said I had to have it.

Cool, learn something every day.

Actually, the less protocols installed the better, especially on W9x boxes, since they have a tendency to "puke" (official networking term...look it up 😉) when too many interfaces and protocols are loaded. WNT/W2K handle multiple protocols and interfaces much better, but there is still an important reason to eliminate unneeded components: speed.

"Tuning" W9x has become second nature to me over the last several years. Invariably, when I look at a client's computers, I'll see everything under the sun loaded in Network Properties, such as:

Client for MS Networks
Client for Network Networks
Propietary NIC cr@p
NIC (usually multiple times from failed re-installs)
Dial-up Adapter
AOL Adapter
MS VPN adapters
WAN adapters
TCP/IP (bound to EVERY adapter)
IPX/SPX (bound to EVERY adapter)
File and printer sharing (for either MS or NetWare)
ad infinitum

What happens is that the networking stack has to track and process EVERY binding, and sometimes, traffic (such as name resolution requests, print jobs, network file access, whatever) are not sent out over an optimal transport first, and must first time-out before the OS will try the next possible transport. WNT/W2K offers MUCH more granular control over what transports/bindings are preferred for what services, and there are some goofy registry tweaks one can do for W9xif you MUST have all that junk loaded, but for the most part, people (home users, especially) should have the following components in Network properties and nothing more:

Client (for MS usually)
NIC (only one)
Dial-up (if needed)
TCP/IP (no need for ANY other protocol)

Another good tip is to ONLY have ONE default gateway entry on a machine. PERIOD. That means only ONE for all instances of TCP/IP bound to all adapters. There can be exceptions, but I'm talking primarily about SOHO users (by far the bulk of folks on this board).

ok, here is what happen
still don't get a connection yet from the client
when i go to my network setting, i have local area connection, local area connection 2, local area connection 4
LAC is the network card that connect to the switch
LAC2 is the D-link card that connect to the ADSL modem
LAC4 is the PPP adaptor that DSL use to connect to the internet
when i go the LAC, i put IP address 192.168.0.1 subnet mask 255.255.255.0 default gateway blank. Preferred DNS server and ALternate DNS server blank(i am unable to click on obtain DNS automatically.)
then I click on LAC2 go straight to sharing, check the enable internet connection sharing for this connection. and under that it ask me to choose which connection.
i have option to choose LAC or LAC4
first time i choose LAC 4, but the kill entire connection, I can't even logon to internet on server
so i undo what i do, and choose LAC.
i can surf on the win2k server DELL machine, but my win2k pro box still get no connection
did i do anything wrong? or something else is missing?
ALSO side note question.
on the share , there is the setting. when i click that, it ask me to check boxes of the services to be provided to the remote network. should i do anything?
there is FTP server, IMAP3, IMAP4, SMTP, POP3, TELNET SERVER.
would my client box able to recieve/sent email if i don't check those?
 
I've had a few problems getting ICS working so I've been using a proxy server to share my Cable Modem across my network.
Try installing winproxy on the server - it's easy to configure, and will allow me to do just about anything I want to with a minimum of fuss.

The extra boxes to check (IMAP, POP3, SMTP etc) open ports to allow local computers to use those types of mail sever without much extra configuration. If you do get ICS working, check the ones you need, and enable only those.

What do machines on the local network need to be able to do?
