Question: Windows server 2003 nat no internet access?
(Posted by: thoja on 2010-03-06 04:44:31)
I have Windows Server 2003 installed as a Virtual machine (using VirtualBox). It is configured as: - Active Directory - DNS Server - Mail Server (SMTP & POP3) - NTP Server - FTP Server - Web Server I am try to configure the server to act as a NAT router. I have it working. However, only computers that are part of the server's domain are able to access the internet (these computers run XP Professional) whereas the other computers (XP Home) cannot (XP Home computers can ping other computers on the network just not the internet). I have configured the TCP/ IP settings exactly the same as the XP Pro computers but it won't work (i'm putting it down to them not being in the same domain). I have a Linux box acting as a DHCP server which assigns the computers their IP addresses, default gateways and DNS servers (works 100%). Anyone got any ideas as to how i can get this to work? thanks The Windows XP Pro computers are virtual test PCs (also installed on VirtualBox). These are able to connect to the internet when removed from the domain and join the same workgroup as the XP Home PCs |
