Tom,
 Excellent question you have here but the answer is I do not really want
the NAT device to assign the ISA Firewall's external interface an IP
address. The NAT device won't even do it. So I ended up doing it manually.
With this configuration, everything works fine except when I try to send an
e-mail from my Outlook 2003 which is connected to Exchange 2003 within my
Internal LAN then the mail gets stuck in the Queue.

The problem I realised I was having was that when I was using a cable
device from Adelphia, everything was working fine with this setup I have
mentioned here. The cable box was able to assign a public IP to the External
Interface of the ISA 2004 Server machine which is running Windows Server
2003 without any problem. Everything has been working fine and I would say
"Thanks to you" for I read most of your articles to help setup my
environment. The moment I dropped the cable comapny and replaced them with
Verizon DSL box, my e-mails would always get stuck in the Queue. I dropped
the cable company Adelphia because their connection keeps dropping almost
everyday.

I can't figure out what to do from here. Thanks.

Steve,
 For some reason, I think the DSL modem does. Even when I connect the DSL
box to just a Windows 2003 Server with no ISA server installed on it, it
still doesn't assign the Windows Server the Public IP it's supposed to
assign. But immediately after I connect it to a Windows XP machine, I get
the Public IP assigned to it fast. Can you maybe explain that?

I'll try what you suggested out here by enabling the DHCP System policy
when I finished installing ISA 2006 on the machine to see what will happen.
Thanks

Tee
