RE: [newbie] Router/firwall

[Myers, Dennis R NWO]

Do you have the client computer set for internet connection as a static IP address? I have not been able to get my firewall/router to work properly without setting the client machines to dhcp. Look in MCC and internet connection, if it is set as static change to dhcp and see if you can get out.
