Why on earth would you wna to use 2003 server or any windows box as your router when u can A) buy a SOHO router dirt cheap now, or B) use a hardened, dedicated 'nix based solution like AStaro, Clark connect or smoothwall?

maybe, because he has a w2k3 box he wants to use?


*nix are the only solution to things.

No, but for something like this, it is a MUCH better and cheaper (free) solution.

And who did I insult?

If your intention is to thoroughly learn the usage of Windows 2003 server, you can start here and investigate the FAQ, and other links on the page.

Link to: The Microsoft Windows 2003 RRAS NAT routing solution, or the Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server.

Otherwise this is going to be the hardest work you will ever do for $15.99.
