Configuring a translated connection
To configure the server running Routing and Remote Access to connect a small office or home office (SOHO) network to the Internet with a translated connection by using the network address translation (NAT) routing protocol and a dial-up connection to an Internet service provider (ISP), the steps in Deploying network address translation are completed.
Notes
This scenario assumes the use of the NAT routing protocol for the translated connection. You can simplify the configuration of a translated connection by using the Internet Connection Sharing feature of Network Connections. For more information about the differences between Internet Connection Sharing and NAT, see Internet Connection Sharing and network address translation. For information about Internet Connection Sharing, see Connecting to the Internet in a home or small office network.
Internet Connection Sharing and Network Bridge are not included in Windows Server 2003, Web Edition; Windows Server 2003, Datacenter Edition; and the Itanium-based versions of the original release of the Windows Server 2003 operating systems.
For more information about setting up network address translation, see Setting Up Network Address Translation.
Configuring multicast support (optional)
To add multicast support to the home network:
The IGMP routing protocol is added. For more information, see Add the IGMP routing protocol.
IGMP router mode is enabled on the interface that is connected to the home network. For more information, see Enable IGMP router and IGMP proxy mode.
IGMP proxy mode is enabled on the interface that is connected to the ISP. For more information, see Enable IGMP router and IGMP proxy mode.
