Do you have a single nic with the DSL connected to the switch???
OR
Do you have dual nics with one connected to the switch with all workstations
and the second nic connected to DSL?? (hint!!! This would be the correct
answer)
The IPs of the nics would be in separate subnets
The nic connected to the DSL connection would only have the TCP/IP Protocol
(no Client for Microsoft Networks, etc)
The IP used for DNS for both internal nic and external nic should be the IP
of the internal NIC

Then run the CEICW again.
And as Mark suggests get rid of ME!!

> I have a client with a brand new Win SBS2003 "STANDARD" Server connected
to DSL.  The Internet access run as expected on the server....FAST!...but
the clients machines (3 -XP & 1 -ME) have very very slow Internet. The
public DNS on the server is set to UUNET's DNS Servers, and the clients
point to the Server (192.168.16.2) for DNS.  We have manually re-configured
DNS's on the clients to the DSL provider's DNS in an effort to resolve, but
no change.  When we run the Internet-E-Mail wizard, it shows a "Red X" for
the Firewall (Is this because it is STANDARD and not PREMIUM).  I am running
out of ideas.  I beleive this is either a DNS issue or a Firewall Issue.
Again...the server runs great... it is just the clietns.  Access to other
network shares runs great. Any suggestions?
