direct connect

[Wayne Spanier]

To whom ever can help me.
Here is my problem:
I have 2 nt 4.0 servers.
One is for applications and the other is for internet access.
I have a Cisco router with a direct connection to my ISP. Which is ATT.
ATT setup the router and maintains our web site. The supplied us wtih the
necessary IP addresses.
All workstations and server use IP addresses only.
The router is connected to my internet server via a 10mb hub.
The the rest of the network is connected to the application server via
100mb hubs.
The 2 servers are conected via the 10mb hub with the cisco router on it.
I can ping from any workstation to any server. I can also access the
Internet using IE40 directly from the communictaion server. However my
problem is that I can not access the internet via any of the workstations
using my lan connections.

Any help would be appreciated. When using the IE40 connection wizard I do
not see anywhere that is asks me what IP address my router is on. I am not
using a proxy server. Unless I am miss understand.

To paraphrase what you said:
1) Two servers on one LAN connected to Internet via cisco router
2) Workstations on second LAN connected to both servers
3) Workstations can reach (ping) either server via TCP/IP
Q: How to get to Internet from second LAN?

Is this correct?

A: You have no direct path from the workstations via the cisco router
to the Internet. You either need:
1) one of the servers to act as a proxy or as a router/firewall or,
2) to connect the workstation LAN to the cisco router and point the
workstation default gateway to the router.

For reasons of security I would recommend 1) for which you need proxy
server or firewall software application for WinNT.
