I posted some stuff earlier that touched on this subject. I too was impacted by the AT&T tragedy. However, I am using the @Business service and was told that it was a independant of AT&T @ Home Service. However, I was not aware that they were using Excite as a portal either.
Anyway.... I've had to reconstruct my WAN using 2 NAT boxes (DHCP) and an NT 4.0 Proxy Server. This is my only suggestion. Purchase a cheap NAT box like Linksys or construct one out of NT 2000 or NT 4. Have the DHCP address assigned to the WAN interface of the NAT Box. Give the external Proxy server nic an invalid address like 192.168.1.2 the gateway would be 192.168.1.1 (LAN Side of NAT Box). This will get your proxy server up and running. However, you will need to make several adjustments on your outside DNS once you know your DHCP assigned address. The cool thing about the Linksys and other NAT boxes is that it supports port forwarding also. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 11:42 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Off topic...apologies... I seem to remember that this may have been touched on before. AT&T Broadband has taken over my cable modem services (at home, not work.) I used to have a static IP from the previous provider but now it's DHCP. I want to maintain my home network which is: NT4 server with Proxy 2.0 and several W2K clients. Has anyone sucessfully configured something like this and if so, how did you do it? Equipment recommendations appreciated as well. You can respond to my personally so as not to clog up the list.
