Hi, I'm having a problem connecting to the internet (or any other IP connectivity) with my Powerbook G3 (running OS 9.2.2) via Win 2003 server running RRAS.
When I first brought the Powerbook home, it was running OS 8.5. On the Win 2003 server, I set up a computer account for the Powerbook, a user account, and a DNS record for it as well. On the Powerbook, I gave it the same name as the machine account I set up on the 2003 server, set up the same user account as I had on the server, and the IP address that I used for the new DNS record on the server. (The 2003 server is a domain controller/DNS server running RRAS w/2 ethernet adapters) I also have SFM running on the server for file sharing. With this setup, I booted up the Powerbook, connected to the assigned shares on the server (via Chooser), and went out to the internet w/o any problems. (I could ping the Powerbook from the Win 2003 server) Now, I initialized the hard drive on the Powerbook and installed OS 9.2.2. I tried the same setup on both machines as I had with OS 8.5, but I can't get IP connectivity between the Powerbook and 2003 server. File sharing works like a champ, but there is no answers to ping from the 2003 server to the Powerbook. Has anyone had a similar problem to this? Is there an easy fix w/o 3rd party software? I like using the 2003 server as a NAT gateway so it acts as a firewall for the network. At this time, I have DHCP set up on my Powerbook and an XP machine on the network. I get two IP addresses from my ISP this way, but my entire network is exposed to the internet (or at least the rest of the neighborhood - I have broadband cable access). Due to this fact, I am only using the Powerbook and the XP machine (with ZoneAlarm firewall) right now. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
