First post here, so please be kind
I need to set up NAT on my home Lab setup. t The problem is I'm a bit limited on hardware.I have 2 clint computers and one server which is running DNS, DHCP and Active directory (not the ideal setup I know, but as I said, I'm limited on the hardware front.).

I've read on the MS technet that you cannot run NAT on a server that is a DHCP and/or a DNS server. I understand the reasons for this, but was wondering if anyone out there knew a way around it?

Here's hoping!

Why don't you just set up ICS?

You using this to study/learn for the MCSE?

Got ICS running at present. Want to setup NAT to allow for more configuration options. I am studying towards MCSE, but am going via the MCSA route with A+ and NET +.

The only thing I'm thinking is to let NAT do the DHCP and DNS:Configure RRAS NAT Service To Assign IP Addresses And Perform Proxy DNS Queries, (Read the second section in the KB Article.)

Can you configure one of your clients to be a server instead? You will be able to do a lot more network administration scenarios with 2 servers, as opposed to 1 w/ 2 clients.
me? I dunno...

I agree with Jeff, it is possible. I did approximately the same thing. I wasnt comfortable configuring specific ports so I left the defaults, the problem was that after about a week of unprotected exposure to the internet, well... one toasted network. (no lost hardware, but frazzled software)

I have been looking into ISA server, is this an industry respected solution, or is there generally some other way used to professionally secure lans, vpn's etc?

The Wife won't be to happy with that! ( No more Icewind Dale etc.)

Thought about that one myself, but will I still be able to have the server as a DC?

I have had w2k server installed on 133/64 computer, it was kind of slow, but it worked.

As long as you have a current bios and access to a cdrom that is fast enough it should install, even if you have to swap the cdrom out of another box long enough for the install, or maybe copy the files from another machine over the network. I'm pretty sure the transfer then upgrade from the local box thing worked once or twice.

You can do a dual boot and let her keep her configuration. "not ideal for a lab but it will let you play in the mean time."
