DHCP, DC, FILESHARING, AND EXCHANGE ARE WORKING. SERVER CAN ACCESS INTERNET, CLIENTS CAN NOT
I am working on a network here is the setup.
9 client machines
2 Windows Servers (1 - Windows 2000 Server, 1 - Windows 2000 Advanced Server)
The Windows 2000 Server, configured with 2 NiC cards, one as WAN and one as LAN is running DHCP, DNS, Active Directory, Exchange Server, WINS, and remote access. DHCP works, each of the client machines access and pull their IPs from this server.. Active Directory works, because my users I create login into the domain, Exchange Server is operational all users are getting email, remote access works, WINS i beleive is working as well, DNS seems to be working.
I've set the internetal IPS to be assigned starting at 10.0.0.11 (researving 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.10 for servers and future expansion)
I've set the WAN connection and it is working correctly, I can access the internet from the server.
I've set the LAN connection as follows:
IP: 10.0.0.2
Subnet: 255.0.0.0
Prefered DNS: 10.0.0.2
Sec. DNS: 10.0.0.2
and under Advanced, I added the WINS server which is 10.0.0.2
The LAN connection leads to a hub which has all 9 client machines connected, as I said they can login and access shares, print, ect. but cannot access the internet.
When I attempt to PING from a client machine, it is unable to resolve host, but if I ping 10.0.0.2 it works fine.
Also, my second server (Windows 2000 Advanced Server) is running on the network, but no AD is set up (I haven't been able to fully patch it) and I want to use it as a secondary domain controller.. but it can't access the intenet either and has only one NIC (which is fine, because I've assigned it IP: 10.0.0.3..BTW.. can be pinged from any client)
Here is the stats from a ipconfig /all command: EDITED OF COURSE!!!

Also make sure that the clients have a default gateway set to 10.0.0.2
Are you using ISA, or NAT on the server? Is it set up properly?

Why not start by finding out if it is a problem with DNS or with routing in general?
Go to a client machine and try pinging a known external ip address.
Google: 64.233.167.99 I can ping it.
If you can ping the address above, your DNS needs fixing. If you can't, then do as suggested above, check the default gateway being allocated to the clients.

>> You'll also need a reverasal lookup installed/ configure on the Server.
I beleive this is done already.
I just installed NAT on the server (as per the white paper from microsoft - "Connecting Your Network to the Internet" Not sure if it is set-up correctly because after I did what the Deployment Scenario said it was not working.
cccego2: I have done this as well, and when I ping the IP -- Request Timed out.
The default gateway is being allocated in my NIC Settings, and still nothing.
Hope this information.

Can you post result of C:\>route print

More information..
I installed ISA and it disabled more than it did anything and did not allow the clients to access the internet anyways. So I have uninstalled it again and we are back to the way I was before I started today.
I have upgraded the point value on this questions because I need to get this running ASAP.
I do not have NAT or ISA running but DNS And DHCP seem to be operational.
These are the only errors in my Event Log:
1. Unable to contact a DHCP server. The Automatic Private IP Address 169.254.198.244 will be assigned to dial-in clients. Clients may be unable to access resources on the network.
2. DNS Server has updated its own host (A) records. In order to insure that its DS-integrated peer DNS servers are able to replicate with this server, an attempt was made to update them with the new records through dynamic update. An error was encountered during this update, the record data is the error code.
If this DNS server does not have any DS-integrated peers, then this error
should be ignored.
No other errors.. Again, everything but internet on client machines works. BTW.. the white paper I was refering to in my earlier comments, I tried that this morning when I got into the office, (installing a Internet Connection thru NAT) and all that -- That did not work either, that is why I tried ISA, which did not work either.

Ok.
I installed the NAT server I beleive correctly.
Now I have a slight different problem. Now only a few computer can access the internet.
4 of the 9 clients can access the internet.
I have left the settings blank in Connections in Internet Explorer, and checked and the server is issuing IPs to the other computers.
So the problem is partialy solved, but not all the way?
what's up now?

Thanks Guys!
I'm sure I'll have more questions, I just dont have any points!!!!

First of all your server has to be set as the DNS Forwarder, and point to the ISP DNS server.
You'll also need a reverasal lookup installed/ configure on the Server.
Then all client's must point their DNS to YOUR internal DNS server. By the way it also looke like the clinets do not have a default gateway in the DHCP Scope.
In the DHCP Scope choose router specify the address. If you don't know the address of that router then on the serve rwho has access to the internet do a tracert www.google.com the first hopis the router address (default Gateway). insert into the DHCP Scope
