Bridging Network Cards?

[goofyfish]

I have a machine running Windows 2000 Server with two network cards.

A cable modem has been installed, followed by a switch that does not support any type of address translation, to which is attached the server and 5 workstations (mixed Win98s and XPs). The server has one card configured for the WAN (68.140...) and one configured for the LAN (192.168.0.1). The workstations have static IPs and are able to run services and mapped drives from the Server.

Although I can get an internet connection with the server, no other machines are able to access it, even if I have internet connection sharing turned on. Is there something I am missing, perhaps bridging the cards on the server?

This may not be much help but whenever I am sharing an internet connection i have to alter some of my firewall settings to do so. Otherwise I cannot access the internet on one of the other pc's but I can access shared files etc...

Probably not much help but anyway.......

For outgoing and incoming packets, the source private ip address and tcp / udp port are mapped by ICS to the ISPs ip address and ports. To enable ICS:

* In Control Panel, double-click the Network and Dial Up Connections
* Right-click on the icon that represents the connection that is to be configured for sharing and choose Properties
* Click on the Sharing tab and put a check in the box "Enable Internet Connection for this Connection"
* A warning appears concerning connectivity with other members of the network being lost, choose Yes, and continue.

I don't think that firewall settings would do much, but ICS is what you'll need to configure.

You might want to let dhcp handle the assigning of the IP's; that's the way I have ICS set up on my home lan.
