Re: help understanding this behaviour

I actually do have a local domain with a multihomed Win2K SBS, but it's
offline right now because I opened a big hole in ISA screwing around with
ventrilo and left it open and it got owned. That actually would explain why I
didnt have the problem before, although I wasnt thinking about that.. I
should have! I was just surprised that any DHCP server would respond to a
PPTP request through an already established tunnel. Thanks for the reply!

The DHCP Service on these "home user" boxes isn't that great. I would not
be too surprised at anything "stupid" that they might do.

If you happen to have a Domain Controller on your LAN because you are
running a Windows Domain,...then always, always, always, disable the DHCP on
the "home user" box and run the DHCP Service on the Server instead. It is a
thousand times better.

If you don't have a Domain (and hence no Domain Controller) and are just
running a Workgroup but still have a machine with the Windows Server OS,...
there is still a way to run a DHCP Server on the Windows Server OS without
the normally required DHCP Authorization to let the DHCP Service work. I
don't have any links but you should be able to hunt it down on MS's site
fairly easy or just find details about it on the general Internet.

Then of course there is always Linux.

Me personally, on my home network, the Linksys box gets me by. I don't fool
around or get very "creative" that much on my home LAN,...It is just there
so I can have a couple PCs and my TiVO box on the Internet. I do my
creative stuff in Virtual PC on the Laptop or at work in the shop.
