Connect 20 machine to a 2003 windws server

[mbismillah]

Your server has 2 NICs. One connected to the Internet modem or router and another one connected to a LAN switch. All PCs will also be connected to the LAN switch. Since you have a server, it also acts as a router if it has more than one NIC. As long as your DNS has a forwarder to an Internet DNS, it will know that the PC is trying to access a non-local IP address and it will route traffic accordingly. In other words, the server will behave just like an Internet router that you may have at home.

will thIS be hard to SET UP?

CAN I FIND A STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO SET THIS INTERNET CONNECTION WITH 2 NIC IN A SERVER

That's so basic that instructions are not required. Once NIC is assigned an IP address (static or dynamic) for the Internet connection. The other one is assigned a static IP address for the LAN. Don't you have a router? If so, it's very similar. Don't you have a lab at university where you could test it?

Thank YOU

Can i use a DHCP FOR BOTH OF THEM?

You definitely can't use DHCP for the LAN NIC; the DNS requires a static IP address. In an office environment, the Internet IP address usually is static as well. DHCP usually is used for PCs only.

You don't need any tools. You simply use the server as a gateway.

gtvr isn't wrong. You're trying to make something very simple into a complex exercise.

FYI, using all caps is rude.

2 years and you don't know what a domain is, but you want someone to tell you? C'mon, use google to start with, then ask something specific.

Not that hard: http://www.google.com/#hl=en&q=what+is+a+windows+domain
