Windows Server 2003 acting as a router

Zones: Network Management, Windows NT Networking, Networking Hardware

Tags: Microsoft, Windows Server, 2003 Enterprise

I am trying to setup a Windows Server 2003 server to act as a software router.

It has 2 NIC's:
NIC1 is the Private Network, with static IP, and null Gateway.
NIC2 is the Public Network, with static IP, DNS, Gateway etc.
I also runs DNS and DHCP services, along with AD (and aware of all the security issues...)

I have run the RRAS wizard, and selected both private and public interface for NAT, as in http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/NAT_Windows_2003_Setup_Configuration.html
The problem is that only the server is successfully connecting with outside world, while clients cannot access outside addresses.
A ping of external site, by a clients, results in the address being shown of the site, and no reply.
It is as if all incomming connings are blocked, or not correctly routed.

What am I missing here ?
