I too have a cable modem with a dynamic IP and have experienced no
problems with it.  I'm interested though in how I could configure my
server as VPN server as I have always understood that one had to have a
static IP for this to work.  Is it possible with a dynamic IP?

It's very easy to have ISA grab and IP from the cable ISP, I wouldn't
bother asking for a static IP unless you are prepared to listen to there
garble.
I use ISA to get IP for ISP, then using NAT and DHCP I assign ip's to my
internal computers as required.
It's all quite easy and painless.
I use our script to drop my IP and renew it from my ISP every 24 hours.
This keeps me and my cable internet idiots happy.
 
Let me know if you need any help

I think. 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.
