daman4469 Posted August 13, 2006 CID Share Posted August 13, 2006 I am trying to run an internal NAT on my home network....I have several clients running on Windows XP Pro, and a server running on Windows 2003 Server....what I would like to do is have the server running on one NAT, with the clients running on the other NAT, so that the server cannot be accessed using UNC or IP addresses. I have successfully done this....however, the clients now cannot access the internet. Network resources are no problem, but I cannot get outside the gateway. My gateway address is 192.168.1.1, the internal router address is 192.168.2.1, and all client addresses are 192.168.2.x. DNS in the gateway is turned off, but forwarded to the server (the server is on the same NAT as the gateway), and DHCP is off. I am running static IPs on all client computers. I have asked a few of my professors about this, and they say that having static or dynamic IPs doesn't matter really, as long as static IPs are registered in the router table, which they are. Anyway, is there a network topology problem? If I'm not specific enough, or too specific, let me know...I'd appreciate any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostmaster Posted August 13, 2006 CID Share Posted August 13, 2006 What type of router are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daman4469 Posted August 13, 2006 Author CID Share Posted August 13, 2006 My gateway router is a Westell VersaLink 327W.....my internal router is a Linksys, I don't know the model, its the one that everyone has, you know, with the two antennas....

Swimmer Posted August 14, 2006 CID Share Posted August 14, 2006 Alright I have a simular setup at my home... I use a dlink and a nokia hardware router/firewall with smoothwall. What I have done is that dink(192.168.0.1) connects to the modem.. Then from port 4 it runs into the nokia with an ip of 192.168.1.1.. The DNS is handled by the dlink and DMZ is configured so that all traffic passes to the nokia. I have DHCP turned on for both.. but static ip address set.. The reason is that the dink is a wifi and I VLAN my switch so that no other ports are active or have access to the server segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daman4469 Posted August 14, 2006 Author CID Share Posted August 14, 2006 ahhhh so maybe i should make my IPs dynamic, and have the DMZ forward all traffic to my westell....ill try that, and post back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted August 14, 2006 CID Share Posted August 14, 2006 dont make your all of your IPs dynamic.. The servers should be set on the routers as static host so your forwards dont change.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
