Could I ask you to clarify a bit about what you have been trying? First, how many different computers have you tested? Did you try Gnatbox software and Dachstein on the same computer (or do you have the hardware version of Gnatbox)? Is the Win98 computer a different physical machine?
Second, when you say "My cable supplier changed my server location recently", what *exactly* do you mean? That they changed the IP address of your DHCP server? Or something else? In any case, were there any other changes coincident to the one you report on the ISP end? Third, -AFTER- the ISP made this change, what was the FIRST computer you connected directly to the service? I want to rule out the possibility that the reason the Win98 machine works and the other does (or others do) not is the use of MAC address authentication by the ISP. Fourth, you say that "My ISP uses a regular IP address for it's DHCP server (65.252.128.3)". When you have a connection (with the Win98 host), is this address on your external network? (If you are not sure what this means, then let us see the routing table of the Win98 host.) Finally, just to be clear, are we correct in understanding that prior to this change by the ISP, the Gnatbox worked just fine but you had never tried Dachstein on the connection? Also that prior to the change, the ISP had already been using DHCP assignment for your hookup? And that after the change, you were using the same hardware, unchanged, first with Gnatbox, then with Dachstein? If I seem a bit picky about all these questions ... successful troubleshooting is usually a matter fo finding the answer somewhere in the details, so we need to have the details right. Since Dachstein does usually work, we need to figure out what about your circumstances is unusual.
