You should consider a Cisco PIX. It'll do NAT for your private ip addresses, provides Stateful Packet Inspection, and uses the Adaptive Security Algorithm. For a workgroup, you only need a pix 501 and you will notice a big difference between a hardware firewall and software firewalls. Combined...
I have the exact same problem and reinstalling the client didn't work. Neither did reinstalling the pdm.bin or write erase and re-configuring the pix. Also made sure that popups weren't being blocked and IE allows java, etc....PDM worked fine until I upgraded to 6.3(4) and PDM 3.x.
Ciscokits is the place to go for CCNA routers. The ones I bought from them were in great working order and they included IOS images AND LABS. I bought another router from jerk called speedy47 and regretted the purchase....he wasn't honest and he wasn't speedy.
Get a broadband router. set it's inside interface address to 192.168.1.1. set the outside interface to dhcp for your isp's dynamically assigned ip address. statically assign the address 192.168.1.10 to your server and each workstation should have 192.168.1.11, 12, 13 etc...just make sure all...
You should upgrade to 2003 and adprep /forestprep and /domainprep the DC that has the schema master role.
Leave A.D. in mixed mode and the Win 2k DCs will work fine with the 2003 DC.

Put DHCP on the RIS Server and authorize it in Active Directory. I had the same problem. Once set up DHCP on the RIS Server, everything was okey dokey

I take it that this is a problem with the pix 6.2(2).
thanks for the advice. In order to upgrade, do I have to buy a Smartnet warranty. If so, am I able to get that from any vendor that sells Cisco devices. I was overcharged by the company I bought the pix from (both for the unit's advertised...
I had similar problems with having DHCP running on a different win 2k server than the RIS server. I setup DHCP on the RIS server and activated it in Authorized it in Active Directory. Worked like a charm. Another suggestion is to customize the ristndrd.sif and riprep.sif files with your desired...
I have a single subnet connected to the internet via cable modem. The outside Ip address is dynamically assigned. When I use access-list 101 permit tcp any any eq www (or ftp with a static statement for that) it seems as if the pix is letting the traffic in, but I get a connection timed out...
add the xp client's hostname to ad users and computers first, then make sure the xp client has the dns server's address in it's ip config and let her rip.
