RE: Day wasted: Help needed please

["Nikola Kasic" <nikola@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I use ICS for ADSL modem sharing on my network and works fine. When you start ICS, it becomes small DHCP server and DNS server with no options to configure.

It automatically uses 192.168.0.1 as IP address for machine with modem and puts 255.255.255.0 as a subnet mask.

You have no flexibility, but it works. Therefore MS doesn't recommend using it on domain controller, where you usually put proper DHCP server and DNS server.

However, I made it working on domain controller fine as well.

I use ZoneAlarm as firewall and it works without problems.

When you need to put other DNS entries (like your ddar.receiver) with ICS, you can put them in hosts file on workstations.

Cheers,

Nik

Hi All

After trying to get my DNS, DHCP and NAT sorted out I have wasted a
perfectly good Saterday.  I managed to het my DHCP server up and
running properly (now I can type http://DDAR.receiver.html and get
the display server) but the rest is just a mind field.  I have
downloaded tons of How-to documents off the net on DNS and NAT but
still can't do what I want.

All I want to do is let the other computers on the network use the
servers' modem to connect to the internet.  I think I must have done
something right as when I used to ping an ip I used to get host
unknown whereas now I get "host unreachable" (I hope this is a good
thing).

Anyway since most of the people on this list have more than 1 pc and
most are using the servers modem/dialup/broadband to surf the net
from other pcs, I am hoping someone on this list can save me from
wasted Sunday.

So if anyone has the faintest idea or even a suggestion (no matter
how silly it seems) please throw it in my direction.

Cheers
Pedro
