    Ok, I'm trying to use my Second Windows 2003 Enterprise server box as a NAT Server also, I have it all set up and the internet connection is shared. I just right now don't remember how to port forward on it. I need the NAT Server to forward port 80 to my web server box, can anyone give me instructions on how to do this, I've been searching google but I really haven't had any luck with it.

    Where I thought port forwarding was is exactly what it was and I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working and I found out after thinking, Microsoft's NAT server requires the the compuiter its forwarding the port to to be using the NAT server, but I had my webserver using my router still so I decided to switch it and try and it works. Thanks for the suggestion TheAnimus, if anyone needs help with this contact me by the means in my profile.

    erm any Gateway (what a nat server is a type of, all be it an evil type), requires for clients to use it, to have the gateway set to it.

    Well all my routers I have can use another DNS and gateway other than it, Like I can have one computer using router 10.100.2.1 but I can have router 10.100.2.2 forward ports to the computer using 10.100.2.1 and the cmoputer doesn't have any mention of 10.100.2.2 in its settings. It doesn't matter really, it's working how I want it to and that is all I want.
