Hi Matt, The solution is to manually change the settings when you get the new address. This has been a topic of great interest for the last six months. There was even a developer that I was talking to that was working on this project, but he disappeared from the face of the earth and I never heard from him again. I think someone could make a couple of bucks by coming up with slick solution to this problem.

The connection through the ISP has a dynamic IP address. That does not present a problem untill you try to publish a service to the outside. When publishing a service, for example, an SMTP server, ISA requires that you type in the external IP address. Is there a way around this? In Proxy 2.0 I could simply specify the external interface and not need the IP address. Before you ask, I realize that a dynamic external IP will cause DNS problems. I have this covered through a Dynamic DNS service. Works great on Proxy 2.0, but I'd really like to upgrade.
