006 DNS Servers 192.168.16.2
015 DNS Domain Name yourcompany.local
044 WINS/NBNS Servers 192.168.16.2
046 WINS/NBT Node Type 0x8

e. Internet Connection Wizard (ICW)
Start the SBS Admin Console and run the ICW.
When prompted: Select Broadband Connection
When prompted: Select External NIC
When prompted: Use the DNS Nameservers from your ISP as DNS Forwarders.
f. Check to make sure the External NIC IP address is not
included in the
LAT range.
SBS Console | Internet Security and Acceleration Server 2000 | Servers and
Arrays | <SBS Server Name> | Network Configuration | Local Address Table
(LAT)
Example:
If the external NIC has an IP address of 192.168.1.2 and the Internal NIC
has an IP address of 192.168.16.2, then the range in the LAT should be
192.168.16.0 to 192.168.16.255 (which excludes the external NIC).
Please note: While the suggested IP addressing schema of the SBS 2000 is 192.168.16.x, you can utilitize any private IP address as recommended. Thus if you have a prior set up of 10.0.0.x, you may use that as well. When attaching Win98, or WinME computers, you may need to use hosts and lmhosts files to assist them in attaching to the network.
