Windows server 2008 R2 firewall

hi everyone,

i'm not sure it's right forum post questions, dealing firewalls sounds read-only, so...

i have windows 2008 r2 box 2 nics (one connected internet, 1 internal network). server has routing role nat on external nic. far, works fine. prevent inner computers connect outside hosts but authorize. whatever rule set up, computers on internal network allowed connect outside computer don't want. possible fix , how ? 

as subsidiary question, possible use windows 2008 r2 server firewall preventing incoming outgoing connections to/from computers on internal lan ? have feeling windows firewall can protect machine on installed, wrong ?

thank taking time read , answer these questions.

hello,

domain machines may not apply gpos correct, dns resolution problems may occur, slow logons domain machines.

and security reasons dc should never connected direct internet.

also windows server 2008 r2 or other server os not built firewall use or major router.

so don't have router connects internet?

please see article about multihoming , how configure if need not recommended setup: http://msmvps.com/blogs/acefekay/archive/2009/08/17/multihomed-dcs-with-dns-rras-and-or-pppoe-adapters.aspx
