In my attemps of solvings my problem, I've discovered that under SP2 the
automatic network settings don't configure the internet gateway, that is
I had to insert the ip addresses manually on the lan cards. now I've
solved part of my problem, even though i still can't recieve mail on my
client pc and some web pages are not working.
I never had problems with sharing files (that part of the automatic
network setting has always worked)
