So the linksys stays. If this is the case how do I know if this thing is configured correctly? Take for example my external NIC: IP: 192.168.1.x SM: 255.255.255.0 GW: 192.168.1.1 The ISA server is a different IP and the secureNAT clients use it as the gateway. Even though I have Internet connectivity, I still have to ask if this setup is correct? Also Being that I'm using a dynamic connection what external IP do I use? Should I use the one that's listed in the linksys setup page or the static one I assigned to the external NIC? Sorry if these questions seem basic but my thinking was that the linksys would no longer be needed.
