Sharing @home w/ Win2000 Server...DNS?

Post by ChrisV25 »

Hi,
I am currently sharing @home with Win2K ICS. I want to setup a new domain to learn on which requires DNS, DHCP. By adding NAT to the mix, I can stop using ICS and share out the cable access manually. My question is... will the DNS services of the server interfere with the DNS server on @home?

Thanks, Chris
Bolty

Hey Chris,
If you will be implementing the above scenario, take care to ensure that the server has 2 NICs and that your DNS/DHCP servers are configured as secondary; NAT, of course, directed toward the private LAN. A second NIC will isolate the private LAN's network traffic as well as provide a substantial speed boost.

There is some slight Registry/TCP/IP stack modification involved here, so, as a baseline, I strongly recomment consulting the following URL:

I'm terribly sorry that it wasn't clickable, but this is my first post. I therefore appreciate your patience.

Please let me know how you progress with this and/or if I may offer further assistance.
