There are two scenarios, on with a proxy and one without.

With proxy ---- Two separate subnets are required, one behind the proxy and
one in front of it. All machines behind the proxy should have a gateway
equal to the IP address of the NIC card on the server that is attached to
the internal net. The dialins and the NT will still use the router IP for a
gateway. Address behind the proxy can be whatever you want and does not
have to be a legitimate class c. We normally use 192.168.0.1-254

Without proxy ---- A single subnet is possible. As far as the gateway, it
should be your router for the dialins and the NT server and everything else.
In this case, all IP's need to be legitimate.
