I would put this down to your DHCP lease trying to renew every 8 hours, and fails due to a blocked port. You can see when your IP is leased for by using the dos command IPCONFIG /ALL You will need to allow ports 67 and 68 to Access the internet, You will find this filter already set up for you (DHCP Client|), but it will be disabled - Enable this filter. -----Original Message----- From: Rod Applegate [mailto:rod@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: 22 August 2001 14:16 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Keep dropping DSL connection with ISP http://www.ISAserver.org Don't know who's problem this is, mine or SWBell's, but I'm only good for the 8 hour lease when I enable my DSL connection. I've tried the configuration suggested by Alexandre Alancar in "The Learning Zone" article but that didn't work either. IPCONFIG /RENEW doesn't work ... it hangs in fact ... and I have to reboot. Re-enabling the external NIC works insofar as getting another IP lease but ISA won't let me on the internet so I have to reboot. Is this a common problem ?? I have a std. setup with SP2 installed on the Win2K Server and IIS 5.0.
