I have a small W2k Domain (4 clients) the company resides in an area where no Broadband/DSL service is available so we are using a dial-up connection to Earthlink.
The problem is an IP conflict between my server and Earthlink each wanting control... its always about control isn't it! If I have all computers setup to obtain IP addresses automatically I have access to my internal network just fine until I connect to Earthlink then the machine that access the internet can no longer access the internal network. If I setup a 192,168.0.x fixed IP scheme for all computers I can only access the internet from the dial up computer.
Are there other configuration settings I can try besides getting another modem/phone line or an additional network card?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
