I have moved from Windows 2003 server to Windows 2008 and have some issues related to IIS or networking I would rather say.
I have two NIC's in the server. One is with a fast IP address given by the ISP XX.XX.XXX.XXX which is connected to the internet and the other one is a local one with and address looking like 192.168.0.1
In the RRAS the first NIC is configured as the public interface going on the internet and the services provided by the server such as Web server and mail server are added as offered services on that interface meaning that the RRAS sees that as a Proxy.
The other one, the internal one, is meant to be the router for the local network to access the internet.
Everything works fine meaning that I can get on the internet without any problems from the internal network and my websites on the server are accessible from the Internet. THE HUGE problem is when I try to access my websites from within the local network - nothing happens. I don't get a 404 page, it just hangs on there and nothing happens. The web server is configured correctly and is accessible from internet.
Any idea why or what kind of configuration problems I might have?
HIGHLY
recommend you use a stand alone router for all of this. While Windows can act as a router I have never seen the point, especially since a small Linksys or NetGear can easily do the job of Windows. Any particular reason you are using the server as a router?
