I wouldn't imagine that a DSL modem has enough intelligence to tell what
sort of operating system is connected to it.

 

Enable the DHCP system policy rule.

ISA Gurus,
 Where are you guys hiding? I need your help out here :).
Okay, here is my problem. I have a Windows Server 2003, XP, and Vista
network setup. I have a Verizon DSL that connects to my network. When I
connect the Verizon DSL  box (Westell Wirespeed) to any of my
workstations, I get a public DHCP assigned IP address from Verizon.
That's Great. Everything works fine. But when I connect the Verizon DSL
to my Windows Server 2003, the Verizon box is not able to assign the
Public IP address to the server. According to Verizon, their DSL box
only works with Windows workstations and not Windows servers. 

My plan is to setup my network so that my Windows Server 2003 which has
2 NICS in it will have ISA Server 2004 or 2006 install on it. Actually,
I will install ISA Server 2006 since I have worked with the 2004 edition
for over a year and a half now. One of the NIC will be connected to the
Internal LAN and the other NIC will be connected to the Verizon Box. But
since I cannot connect the Verizon box directly to the 2nd NIC because
of the limitation that box has with Windows version of the server, what
are some of the connections work around? I even tried to connect the 2nd
NIC and the Verizon box to an unmanaged switch but that was no good. 

Anyone out there with a very good idea to help me make this connection
work? I really need the ISA Server in my environment. Thanks all for any
idea you may have.

Tee
