You'll be much happier with the static IP thing, pppoe is raw evil. ISA will work beautifully, won't need the linksys. You actually will only need 1 address if it's only the ISA that will be publicly addressed. If you want a dmz segment then you'll need more. -Shawn ----- Shawn R.

Am I going to have to use a nat device in front of the ISA (2000) as well? Or will the static IP fix that problem? I have my web sites, terminal servers, et all published through ISA and don't want an extra device screwing all that up.

Isn't this how it should be . I have a Netopia DSL router in front of ISA .. and works fine . The router has one public for its interface. All other public ips are configured on external interface of ISA and configured for publishing .

Need some help getting ISA to work on a DSL connection. The only way I seem to be able to get to the Internet is if I put my linksys in front of the ISA server and configure the external NIC to use the IP of the linksys as its gateway. I also had to provide it with a static internal IP. I'm thinking this will come back to haunt me once I begin publishing servers and services. I've read the articles on configuring DSL, the network interfaces, and ISA to support PPOE and have tried everything with no success. If I don't use the linksys I'm not able to access the Internet on any of my secureNAT clients. I seem to recall there being some talk on this subject and wonder if anyone can advise on the pros and cons of this type of setup, one that uses a linksys in front of the firewall. I'm thinking I'd be better of going with a hardware solutions or a linux firewall solution. Any responses are appreciated.
