i want use my server to dish out ips instead of my router so i can use microsoft isa. but everytime i try to do this it does not work. when i try to change gateway my server ip it does not do anything. does anyone have any guides for me?
 
if i do that, my router assigns the ip not the server, and as far as i know it needs to be the server to be able to run isa
 
i have tried to disable the dhcp in my router (linksywag354g) and was not sure if i totally disabled it or set it to relay with the ip of the dhcp server as the relay server
at the moment i have the config as router then server/lan. the server has 2 net cards installed and connected to the router. once i have set the server up correctly, can i leave the ip settings in the clients as automatically assigned and will they find the server?
 
that was the impression i got from reading it up. so if i set my ip address on one of the net cards in the server to say 192.168.1.10 and then make sure dhcp is turned off in the router it should work fine and assign the client an ip from the pool i have set? only other questions are a do i set the router to dhcp relay, or disable it altogether. and i have to net cards in the server what is the best way to configure them?
 
so am i correct in thinking that one net card should have a static ip with the gateway of the router still am my ip dns servers for internet access and the other should point back at itself being the dhcp server?
 
i have an adsl connection The only reason i am using isa is because it was the 1st one that came to mind. i have 1 nic set to static and pointing at my router and isp's dns but what do i do with the other one?
 
i also have a bt home hub router which i could use as the internet connection to the sever. So if i set that up 1st then use the lnksys to create a lan network linking server to clients?
 
i have my bt router as the modem connected to the server on a static ip 192.168.1.50 on nic 1 i have the other nic connected to the linksys router static at 192.168.1.60 the problem i have now is that whenever i leave both nic cards enabled i cannot connect with either of them, but when i disable 1 of them i can connect to the router of the enable one. I have disabled dhcp on both routers but am getting stuck now is there an easier way to do this?
 
thanks for sticking with me one this one
i have the bt router just acting as a adsl modom to connect to the server only but in order for the lan to connect to the server then don;t i need router to connect them to the other nic card on the server?

can you show me some kind of diagram showing what ip addys i need and some mapping out?
 
i have the server set to 192.168.1.60 for nic 1 and router set to 192.168.1.1
when i try to connect a client to the server for an ip it comes up with 0.0.0.0. invalid ip
i have another nic card in the server what do i do with it?
 
602lansuite is good, it allows me to proxy all traffic sent from my network with ease. All i need to do now is figure out how to get the dhcp server configured properly
 
i wanted to run all connections to the internet through the server and use it to assign ips to the other pc in the network, basically am just using server for a file storage and wanted to do more with it
i have not given up on dhcp yet. but for now i have just assigned static ips pointing to the router and using the proxy in ie to point to servers ip
i still would like to figure out dhcp soon though
 
thanks for your help, i finally got everything to work fine, all ecept the fact that my xbox will not look for a gateway other than my router, but that is another matter
