good god man! if you dont know how to share the internet connection with Win2003, you're certainly not going to get it done with 2008. The win 2008 interface is totally different from win2003 and its massively resource hungry. If your server is not powerful enough, it'll slow down the server to a crawl.sudhara43 said:Machan i woking in a Colour Lab there is more than 25 computers and all are working in the domain server 2003, i want to try in server 2008 cos' i cant share the internet line throught the domain in server2003, just want to try.![]()

If you want help on sharing the net connection, give details on what type of a internet connection you got and the hardware spec of your server.
You got several ways to share this connection.sudhara43 said:Just a Router connect with another lan port. SLT ADSL
Tnx for helping
kosandpol said:You got several ways to share this connection.
1. Totally un monitored sharing :
In your DHCP settings, set the gateway to the IP of the router. If you're not using DHCP, in all the PCs, change the default gateway to the IP of the router
2. Limited monitored with NAT:
This requires your server to have 2 Network cards.
In your server, enable Routing and remote access service for NAT and internet sharing and in all PCs (or DHCP) set the gateway to the LAN ip of the server. The ADSL router should be connected to the 2nd NIC of the server.
3. Monitored with Proxy:
install a proxy server in the win2003 server and in all the PCs, enter the proxy server IP and port in the browsers and any other software that needs internet access.
sudhara43 said:Sure i have 2 lan cards, what is the 2nd NIC sorry i am not a IT guy.
kosandpol said:NIC = Network Interface Card. Its what you're calling the " LAN card"
kosandpol said:you need to know how to configure the Routing and remote access service.
