bi-directional NAT?


Recommended Posts

I'm on a uni network, with 3 different networks running. There's an 'external' ethernet, and 'external' wireless and my own 'internal' ethernet. I've got my server, now running win 2k3 server, sitting on all 3, trying to nat between them. I'm currently using the built in Routing and Remote Access service for nat. I can happily enable nat on the two external ones and gain access to them from my internal, but I would like to be able to go the other direction as well, which is what I used to do with linux on the server. By that I mean I want people on the external ethernet to be able to access the wireless connection, and people on the wireless to access my internal and external ethernets. With nat enabled on all interfaces, nothing works at all. When I ran linux, I could have nat enabled on all interfaces, make sure forwarding was allowed by the packet filter, and with the server's ip set as gateway on any other computer, I could access any of the networks from any other one. I'm hoping this is possible from windows.

Thanks

Yeah, all different subnets. I decided against ever setting up bridging, nat did all I needed (except maybe udp broadcast forwarding, but that's a different story)

yes there's a couple more adaptors than I said in original post, but it amounts to the same thing. and I'll agree it looks like RRA wont do it, does using other 3rd party software routers mean I'll likely have significant loss of performance, or are they usually low enough in the network layers that it's not an issue? by significant I mean say under 5MB/s throughput on 100Mbit ethernet. I currently get around 7MB/s throughput (with direct connect file sharing) between the two ethernet's.

thanks,

Corona
