Uhh, I didn't see "debian" or even "redhat" mentioned anywhere in your
problem description. The entire problem is understanding how IPv4
routing works and what NAT does. My guess is twofold : 1) all clients
need a default gateway (doesn't look like you set that) 2) the NAT
box must be configured correctly. It's really easy to use ipchains or
iptables to correctly configure a firewall with NAT. In any event, I
wouldn't use windows in any sort of server or security role. (games
and mucking with proprietary crap is the only use for windows. the
former is merely a limitation in the current market. actually I don't
even have any windows machines now, and thus don't play games.)
