I have two NICs, one for "Private" and one for "Internet". I am unable connect to the internet unless I setup a PPPoE connection setup in Network Connections. If I use RRAS and setup PPPoE I am unable to connect to internet. When I try to setup RRAS I do not see the PPPoE connection created in Network Interfaces of the server, Should I? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Your current setup is firewalling the clients from the server. It should be ISP > DSL modem > router WAN port > router LAN port to W2K3 WAN NIC with static 192.168.0.x IP (so you can forward ports if needed) > W2K3 LAN NIC to switch with clients on it. Set up DHCP on your server to feed IPs and DNS to the clients. If your server is a DC in a domain, then make sure you use its LAN IP as the DNS for the clients, and set up DNS forwarders to gain Internet access. If your ISP gave you PPPoE DSL, then set up the router to handle the authentication. Gregg Hill
