Okay here is my layout and what I want to do,

 

I have a windows server with two NIC's installed. One NIC is connected to my

cable modem, the other NIC will be connected to my wireless router which in

return will give access to the other computers in my home.

 

However all is not simple, cannot get the router and the internet to play

nicely together. RRAS installed but no link up between the two.

 

How can i go about doing this?

 

Also my main reason for doing such a thing is this, security, I want the

server to scan all incoming outgoing requests, and scan for viruses and such.

Basically an added layer.

 

P.S. Router is a Dlink DIR-655 Extreme N Gigabit wireless Router. But also

have a Linksys WRT310N with DD WRT flashed to it as well.

Hi,

 

First of all forget about a network virus scanner on a windows system. You must choose between two scenarios, a windows system or a Linux system.

 

Essentially windows can run as a router and you can add a sniffer (network monitor, wireshark,...) to log packets.

If you install a Linux distribution you can do a bit more. You can use UnTangle to monitor your network, it has many free packets and also a virus scanner (but it should cost, not too much anyway).

 

To make your scenario working, you have to route traffic from Nic 1 to Nic 2.

how would i go about doing this? I don't want linux, no time for it. All I need and want is to get this running. I doubt it is that complicated.

It depends on what you want to achieve. Enable routing on win SRV is easy, it's a role. There are many KB on TechNet. The same for network monitor.

 

Anyway untangle is ready to run, download install, everything is via a GUI. No Linux skills required.
