You don't need to renew and release your external NIC. Why are you messing with this? Share out yer cable connection with a Linksys cable router - it works flawless. You don't need to use MS DHCP if you don't HAVE TO. I run ISA + Linksys with over 30 nodes with ATTBI Cable.

It's blocked from the outside, hands out internally with no problem. This was originally a single server environment, now it is only 2. Here is where I ended up with the DHCP on the cable modem issue. If I reboot the server, it will get it's DHCP from the cable company on the external interface and everything works fine. However, if I try to do a release and then renew it will fail. One would think this means that the ISA Control is the problem, despite having the DHCP client rule enabled and configured, and I just need to turn it off temporarily from the desktop to manually renew. On a reboot the DHCP client starts up and gets it's IP before ISA starts up. However, if I am logged on and go to a command prompt with ISA running it will not renew, with the above in mind it would seem I just need to stop ISA Control and it's associated services with it (will anyway). This does not work though. If ISA has started at all, even if I turn it off, it will not get it's DHCP address. Only a reboot will allow it to get one. This was true for the ISDN router too. Unfortunately, that means something is still wrong and in a month when my controlling cable company goes to renew the IP and verify the correct MAC address is there, it will fail, I will go down until I notice it and then have to reboot to recover. So if anyone has any thoughts on what might be wrong, I would greatly appreciate it. I've gone through the Learning Zone docs several times on the instructions for this, to no avail. So, yes, the rule is enabled and configured correctly, but it still does not work. Me thinks I have something misconfigured somewhere or a faulty install because I also have the web issue where I can not publish a web server to an internal IP, only works if I set the external IP on the web site.new and verufy the correct MAC addr Dan Bartley, MCSE+Internet dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: Steve Moffat [mailto:steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, April 18, 2002 15:04 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: RE: [isalist] RE: Cable modem problem As far as I'm aware, having your Isa Server as a DHCP server is a no-no. I may be wrong and if anyone else has managed it please accept my apologies. -----Original Message----- From: Dan Bartley [mailto:dan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thu 18/04/2002 01:37 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Cc: Subject: [isalist] RE: Cable modem problem http://www.ISAserver.org Yes. I did the registry hack suggested at the learning zone for disabling IPAutoconfig. So I get 0.0.0.0. I get a couldn't contact DHCP server error when I try to force a renew from the command line.

I'm changing from ISDN to a cable modem. The cable co. says I must have my ISA server set for DHCP. Followed the instructions in the Learning Zone for this type of setup. I tested it against my ISDN router. Set it to do DHCP, gave the DHCP Client rule the IP of the ISDN router as the remote computer. It won't get an IP from it. I stopped the ISA Control, as suggested, still won't get the IP. Maybe it is the router, but I thought I would check ahead if anyone has any thoughts on what else I might be missing.
