Hi Steve, But many cable systems don't support address renewal. When that happens, the ISA Server ends up without an address, and must broadcast a DHCP Discover message. The problem is that ISA Server doesn't allow broadcasts and therefore the ISA Server is without an address unless you disable the firewall service, issue the DHCP Discover broadcast, and then enabled the firewall service again. Of course, its better to automate this, or even better, use a static address or use the Sygate SOHO NAT server :-) HTH, Tom Thomas W Shinder www.isaserver.org/shinder ISA Server and Beyond: http://tinyurl.com/1jq1 Configuring ISA Server: http://tinyurl.com/1llp -----Original Message----- From: Steve Moffat [mailto:steve@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 3:25 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Problems with DHCP on external nework card http://www.ISAserver.org Well you shouldn't be answering the question then........just enable the dhcp filter within the isa mmc Steve -----Original Message----- From: Glen Howard [mailto:ghoward@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 1:00 PM To: Isa List Subject: [isalist] RE: Problems with DHCP on external nework card http://www.ISAserver.org It is HIGHLY recommended (per Shinder book p. 208-212) that your external interface have static addressing.. I don't know of a scenario whereby ISA SERVER can be programmed to change automatically.. You will have to change PACKET FILTERS, and published servers when this occurs..

I have a problem with my ISA server. I seem to loose the external ip adress, wich is assigned by DHCP. If i stop all ISA services I receive an adress just fine, but when ISA server is Activated I can`´connect to my ISP:s dhcp. What have I missed?
