I have a customer who is setting up a network and we are to provide
Internet connection for her. She has 10 95 machines and a NT server.
for now she is using only a dialup account on the server for her Internet
connection. How would I do I set up such a network? I cannot get the server
to recognize machines on the local network and machines on the Internet,
I have managed to get the server to be able to go to the Internet,
but when I do my connection to the Local net dies out. I have tried
giving the Network card a different IP address than the modem but then
I get the problem mentioned above.

You cannot give the network card and the modem the same ip address. They
hve to look like 2 different networks so that NT will route properly. I
would suggest that for 10 machines, you try to get them into ISDN and use
a separate router like an OR-U and not mess with the NT box. The OR-U can
even do async routing on the serial port via a modem.

You will need to route a subnet to her for her local net. Unless you plan
to use some sort of NAT solution.
