setting up a new server with one static ipaddress |
|
|
Dear Experts,
I am installing windows 2003 server. Well, I have certainly never done this before but was working in this IT Environment and really intrested.
I have the static IP address/DNS/Subnets/Gateway&ADSL@2.5Mbps.from the ISP.
I have configured my server with given information from the ISP and now I want to connect 35 computers for this network. How do I configure the rest of the computers from one static IP. Should I install DHCP and how? and then what about the DNS..
PLEASE HELP ME _________________ still digging |

Now, if your server can connect to the internet, your need to setup RRAS (routing and remote access service). for this, of course, you will need two NICs in the server. one for your "internal connection" the other to connect to "internet"
goto control panel>add remove prog.>windows components
then highlight networking services and click on details
check RRAS and then install it (unless its already installed).
***by the way this is also where you setup DHCP and DNS***
at that point you need to setup RRAS so that you have a NAT
relationship
to do this open RRAS. right-click on the server and choose configure
and enable. choose next and then NAT (should be second on the list)
and next. then choose the "use this public interface..." and select
the network card that connects to the internet.From there you just
configure RRAS.
I would recommend installing DHCP to make your job alot easier.
you just need to install the service (see above) and setup a "scope"
the scope just asks what ranges (i.e. 192.168.1.5 - 192.168.1.40 or whatever as long as its not routable)
what subnet (probably 255.255.255.0)
when you do this, make sure to configure the DNS to point to the ISPs DNS. this should work. if not, you will need to configure it on your server.
this should help.
