I have been reading every article that I can find on this and noticed
something. In MS KB article 320697, it stattes that I should check the
network binding order and that there should be three connections listed:
internal, external, and Remote Access Conections. I am not showing a "Remote
Access Connections" just my internal and external adaptors. Is this a
problem?
