DSL on DlinkDSL504 conflict on W2003 network?

[nickhedgehog]

I have just added a DSL line to the network to retrieve email and provide internet access removing overhead from the relatively small server.

TCP/IP is set to autodetect IP address on all pcs. Server is 192.168.0.1, router is changed to 192.168.0.99. If the PCs are unable to connect to the net/email, I can go into TCP/IP settings on the NIC of the PC, put in an address such as 192.168.0.50, 255.255.255.0 and a gateway of 192.168.0.99. If I then accept these settings, no change. If I then go back in to TCP/IP to change them back to autodetect and apply them, I can access the net until I reboot.

Any clues?

Can you post a IPCONFIG /ALL for a PC that works and one that doesn't?

I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.

Thanks Jimbo,

I've think I've solved the problem now. Someone talked me through turning the DHCP off on the router and setting up a new scope on the server for the routers ip address, along with some other stuff.

Thanks again

Normally the way you do this is to have the router pick the address from your ISP and then the router supplies all the dhcp NAT'd addresses to your pcs which are hung off the router .
