What is the static ip address that you are setting the local side of the net
to? It MUST be in the private network range (ie use 192.168.1.*). Also
check the routing table on the server when it stops working (run "route
print" from the cmd prompt). What is the default route set to? Should be
set to netcard that is connected to the DSL.
Near as I can recall, the 169.254 addresses are used when no other addresses
exist. Sort of a fail safe except nothing works when it does this. Set
local machines to the 192.168.1.* range with a mask of 255.255.255.0. You
will have to define the proxy server address in the client machines as well.

> I have been trying to figure this out for some time now, but still don't
get it:

> My internet connection is a ADSL modem (Ericsson HM220d) connected to my
server trough a netcard. LAN is connected to my server trough a second
netcard and is using the server as a proxy.

> I'm running sambar 5.1 - 5.2b3 on Windows 2000 prof.

> I got a fixed IP from my ISP, and the instruction was to set up the
netcard (for ADSL) to obtain both IP address and DNS address automatically.
So far no problems - connection server/internet is fine.
>
> But when I try to use fixed IP's on my LAN the internet connection stop
working - the same problem when I try to set up DNS and DHCP in sambar.
>
> Only way to make it work is when I set up both netcards to obtain IP
address and DNS address automatically. Then it works - the LAN must obtain
it's IP's from the OS... or? The local IP's are all in the 169.254...
series.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] - if you find this is not the place.
