during the first boot after setup you've been asked for some parameters.. having your server 2 nic, you should have choosen £server and Gateway" mode, did you?

can you please give us more info about your lan, ip adresses etc? thank you

ok..

did you setup your gw? it should be something like 172.16.1.X (X<>2)
did you test internet connection via admin console? (log in as user admin)
did you give your client pc an ip like 192.168.1.Y (Y<>1) setting their gateway to 192.168.1.1?

Did you configure your modem/router in bridged mode, which is appropriate when connecting to a SME configured for gateway server mode,
or
is your modem/router still in normal router mode (which is not so appropriate when SME is configured in gateway server mode) ?

I am not so sure you understood my question.

Did you change the configuration of your modem/router to bridged mode ?
