Hello All
If There is anyone that can help it would be greatly appreciated.
At my jobsite we have one DSL connection and it is shared through a server. Some users use the server and others just use the internet. The Problem that I am having is that when the server is down, the user who uses the internet can't access the internet at all. I notice that on our server there is 2 NIC cards. 1 card connected to the router the 2nd card to a 4 port switch.What I would like is that even when the Server is down that all users could still access the internet even when the server is down.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated,
Rick
 
Do yourself a massive favor and get a descent hardware gateway router, disable the ICS setup you have. ICS should never had been created by MS.
With a router, your users will have the Internet and mail should any server problem occur. While you at it get one with VPN capabilities.
