Q:
PPPOE and Windows NAT
issues
I am working on the following
setup:
Computer A: Windows 2003 Server SP1
Nic1: IP address 193.168.211.1 Mask: 255.255.255.0
Nic2: IP address 192.168.211.2 Mask: 255.255.255.224
Computer B: Windows 2000 Advanced Server SP4
Nic3: IP address 192.168.211.5
Mask: 255.255.255.224 Default Gateway: 192.168.211.2
Nic1 is connected to DSL modem, Nic2 and Nic3 are connect to Ethernet Hub. I
can establish an Internet connection and surf the web on Computer A.
However, on Computer B, I cannot establish a connection to the Internet. I
can ping both Nic1 and Nic2 from Computer B and can ping Nic3 from Computer
A. If I ping an external address from Computer A in resolves and pings
properly, if I ping the same domain name from Computer B it resolves but
does not ping back. Both machines are configured as domain controllers with
AD and DNS installed on each. I have configured DNS forwarders on
Computer A and they seem to be working properly. I think I am missing
something in the routing table but I have no idea what. The routing table
below is from Computer A. If anyone has an idea it would be appreciated.

A1: I found that since I was using PPPOE to
connect to the Internet I needed to setup RRAS with the Route Internal LAN
and Demand-Dial option. I then had to add and configure my PPPOE connection
under Network Interfaces in RRAS making sure to include to route IP packets
on this interface. I then added two static routes in the Static Routes
section:
0.0.0.0/0 No Default Gateway and set to the PPPOE interface
192.168.211.0/27 No Default Gateway and set to the PPPOE interface
I also added the PPPOE interface to the NAT/Basic Firewall and configured it
as a public interface.
