So I recently got DSL with BellSouth. I also got me a D-Link router. The DSL modem is also a router and a DHCP server. It gives out IP addresses in 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.100 range.
D-Link grabs 192.168.1.1 from DSL modem. D-Link in turn is also a router and a DHCP server. It gives out IP addresses in 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.152 range. My PC is plugged into the D-Link and grabs 192.168.0.100 from the D-Link. So I have such a daisy chain. It works fine for browsing the Internet. I have no problem connecting to Exchange 2000 Outlook Web Access which is sitting on a public IP. I have no problem composing and sending short messages. But the weird stuff starts happening if I reply or forward a message - I put the recipients names in, I can even click on check names, I can use the address book search, but when I click on the Send button, the Send button and all other buttons in the toolbar turn grey and stay like that for a few minutes. Then they turn normal again but the message never gets sent. What's up with that? Any ideas? I have tried disabling DHCP service on the DSL modem and assigning a static IP to D-Link. Didn't help. P.S. I can make everything work by turning D-Link to use Dynamic PPPoE right through the DSL modem. It kind of overrides the modem's PPPoE (the modem becomes a mere medium, converter from phone jack to RJ45). _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
