Hi there

I am Database developer, have basic understanding of networks !

Situration:-

Network
1.Server - Win 2K Server
2.Client - Win 2K PRO

Internet
1.Client - it has Nortons Firewall + AntiVirus (i.e. Host) - this is p.c. dials out
2.Server - McAffee Virus

Details
1.Server - Local Area Network icon - Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is set as

192.168.1.1
255.255.255.1
192.168.1.1

192.168.1.1
192.168.1.1

It has DCHP activated.

2.Two icons
A.Local Area Network icon - Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is set as
192.168.1.2
255.255.255.0

B.Dial Out -
i.Sharing tab - ticked for ICS
ii.Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is set as

Obtain IP address automatically

Network is based on a Hub (Netgear).

Problem:

1.Network works fine
2.Surf ok via client(host)
3.CANNOT surf via server(client)

Where I'm I going wrong ?

Any feed  back greatly welcomed.

To start with, your server IP subnet mask is wrong and the server has itself as the gateway.

Change the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 to match the workstation.

Change the default gateway to the address of the workstation - 192.168.1.2

when using ICS, the default ip info given is
on the host
LAN NIC IP
192.168.0.1
mask 255.255.255.0
gateway blank
dns and wins are disabled
so on the client it shuld be
ip
192.168.0.(2-254)
mask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns enabled, and use the dns ip provided by your isp or 192.168.0.1
disable wins

Hi there

Tried both solutions - both worked fine.  What I did notice (which I did not mention above) was I have SQL Server, it worked fine for first solution but not the second.

Anyway, I would like to split points between both experts.

If it is ok with both.

Let me know.
