hi! if i'm connecting one of my server with 2 nic (1 private net, 1 corporate net). do i need to configure anything to make sure that the server is able to go internet? for those clients within the private network, how do i enable them to go to the internet? Thanks.

Hello David,
the server has to be configured with static routes to used the correct NIC to go to internet.
A route print can tell how the server is going to use its NICs.
Devices with private ip addresses as per RFC1918 needs to be handled by NAT = Network Address Translation to be able to access internet.
For example this PC has an ip address 10.x.y.z but when connecting to www.cisco.com it is translated to a public ip address so that packets can be routed in both directions

Hope to help

hi! that's means in the server connected to the corporate network, i need to use the "route add" command in dos prompt?
in this case, how do i configure nat in the server?
Thanks.

Hello David,
I was meaning NAT on network devices.
and yes if the servers have multiple NICs they require the correct route that are inserted with route add in the shell
