Could be the metric or routing issue then, dumping the routing tables
when it happens would help tell you diagnose it.
So they have a 98 machine on a live IP & no router/firewall? This is
just stupid.

The NIC attached to the DSL get's it's IP even before I do a fix, but it
appears that the internal network becomes the preferred route.
Sounds to me like you are trying to ICS to share the DSL with the
internal network? This would be a non-issue if using a router/firewall
appliance to deal with the DSL connectivity.
Actually, they don't want the internal network to have internet access
(I suggested putting in a router but they don't want anyone on the other
computers to be able to waste time on the net.) I'm replacing an older
machine that had this hardware config but was running Win98, and they
wanted it replicated.
