NAT

Ally77

Jus a small problem that confuses me. I understand how to set up NAT on server 2003. Need a public and private interface, add NAT to the public interface, configure it as the public interface, ensure nat clients on same subnet have the NAT computers private interface as their default gateway etc.
This is fine. however, i read in the MS press book that you should enable it on the private interface too. I know their is an option to configure this as the private interface but i dont understand why you have to do this. Could someone please tell me if you must always apply NAT to both the private and public interfaces and tell me what situations you should apply it to both or not, pleeeeease !!

Thanks

Maybe there is a difference between using the RRAS wizard and the manual installation of NAT. I read in your other topic you have a lab so I suggest trying it out and see if the private interface is automatically added.

Check out the first issue in the following article:

Add and configure an interface for network address translation
