Hello all. I'm in the process of making a small server farm based mostly on Windows Server 2003. For simplicity's sake, the only non-2003 server will be a CentOS 5.4 server running only vsftpd, httpd, and mysqld. My plan is to have this server in a 2003 Server's network receiving a DHCP address from the Domain Controller.

I am looking for a solution to get the CentOS server on the network like the other clients.

Centos works normally with standard DHCP servers and obviously would know nothing about upstream NAT handling. There must be some sort of restriction imposed by the Windows server in this scenario.

The only thing I can think of on the Linux side are firewall rules.
