Today I tried to configure my Virtual Lab (VMWare) to access the Internet via a server configured for the purpose of doing the Routing. To do that, I followed this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkL5Cfmov2w
All seemed just fine. I installed Windows Server 2012 R2 with Routing and Remote Access Server, configured to Network Cards on My Gateway (on on the LAN, another one on the corporate network with Internet access) and performed each and every step that I believed needed to be done. After all those steps, even though I can access the Internet from the gateway, any other servers on my lab are still not able to connect to the internet
Here is a summary of my configs:
- My Lab is in the Domain 192.168.50.0/24
- My Gateway is configured with the LAN ip to 192.168.50.254 and the WAN ip to DHCP
- My lab PC's have the Default Gateway set to the LAN on the Gateway (192.168.50.254)
- The Domain Controller on that network (192.168.50.10) acts as DNS and DHCP for the Lab, all PC's have that IP as their DNS Server.
Tests I did I can do more upon request if you want to help me :)

Please let me know if you need any other config info, print-screens or log files (I can provide all that) or other tests you want me to run.
Thanks a ton!
