    I’m running Panther Server 10.3.5 on a machine with two ethernet interfaces: the built-in one (en0) and a third-party PCI NIC (en1).

    I’ve set up en1 to connect to my ADSL router using the 192.168.1.0/24 network. en0 is using 10.0.2.0/24 and is attached to an Airport Extreme base station, which in turn is running DHCP and NAT to provide internet access to wireless clients.

    Now from the machine running Panther Server, I can ping out to the internet and surf the web without a problem. In addition, I can ping both interfaces of the Panther Server machine from my PowerBook using AirPort. What I can’t do is access the internet from the PowerBook.

    It seems that the server somehow isn’t routing the requests properly, but I’m not sure what the problem is with my setup. I have en1 listed as the first interface in the Network Preferences pane, and en0 second. I’ve set the router under en1 as the address of the ADSL modem, which I’ve also set as the DNS server. I’ve left the router and DNS fields for en0 empty. Is there any additional set-up to do?

    Hi there….I have the same thing however there is one catch in my situation. Our macgroup (within a large windows-net) wants to have acces to the internet through our macosx server 10.3 and NOT through the windows ISA server. IP range in macgroup: 192.168.100.181-199.
    Internal NIC connects to the LAN, ext. NIC to internet. I enable NAT and FW and 2 macs are up and running. The other 4 refuse to work..;-( How can this be??? Checked the FW etc…no succes. ANY help is appreciated.
    BTW: 2 macs that work have network set to manually and fixed IP.

    Thx MBahnen

    Hi guys i need your help with this…..
    I wonder how 2 macs in our “macgroup” are able to use the mac server as a gateway/router and the other 4 are NOT……those macs are able to ping trace etc etc. But NO webconnection!!! All the macs have static ip’s in a certain range….i checked the firewal(s) etc etc. The only thing i can think of is that the newly configured isa-server is blocking them: is that possible??? (see our setting above, previous message from me). As the windows guy told me we have now a direct link to the main router to bypass all the windows crap (sorry…). I have two nics in the mac server: the inner as LAN the PCI one as the outer. I use brickwall to configure and to double check I made a trusted ip group in the FW of the Server Admin. As i said…..2 mac’s work ( ic an see the outside router when i do a trace) but 4 don’t…. ANY suggestions are welcome!!!!
