Aha! That looks like it might work. I'll have to try it tonight when everyone at the office is gone.

Thanks!

The NAT server is what is

The NAT server is what is allowing your network to connect to the Internet. Basically, it acts as a bridge between your private network and the worldwide network (aka The Internet). If you haven't already, reading up on it here may help.

For your specific problem, it sounds like it's a problem with your DHCP server and not the NAT server. When your DHCP client (client computer) gets an IP address from the DHCP server, it also gets the default gateway's IP address. If you change that setting on your DHCP server, then that change will propagate to all your clients on the next renew.

I'm not a Windows server expert either, but I'm pretty sure that the setting is changed by firing up the DHCP server config, going to the 'scope' for your network, and changing the IP address for the '003 Router' option. If that option is not there, right-click on the Scope Options folder, and click on 'Configure Options'. Find that option under the Available Options section and check the respective box.
