HughesNet Satellite → [Europe] Got problems with DW/proxy sharing over a network

Hi

We got Direcway two way internet overhere for a while and we're sharing the internet connection through NAT with RRAS. The host computer is a windows 2000 small business server with the DW software on it. On the host computer everything works fine, we can ping any website, mail server, run msn messenger, run kazaa, also we can browse with the proxy settings off. But on the clients (all winxp) we only can browse with the proxy settins ON, when we turn it off nothing works. ALso msn messenger doesn't work, kazaa doens't. I think the main reason for that is that proxy is not working on client pc's. Have you got any idea to solve this problem??

Thanks

I'll start by saying welcome!

I know nothing of RRAS but it seems to me you need to establish a default gateway and DNS address for the clients.
If the network connection on the client has a default gateway setting, enter the host address.
The DNS server address of the client can be the default gateway address of the host as well.
Hopefully someone with RRAS experience will check in soon.

Woooow!! Thank you!!!!
I must be a *&"!@ idiot!! After all this time you come with this simple solution and it works!!

Thank you very much!!!!

Glad my lucky guess worked out.
