Thanks Maartin,

If you do an ipconfig /all from the command line on the server, do you see
an IP address for the WAN wrapper on the modem? If so, point your client
computers to that address for your gateway and see what happens. Also,
check it from the client PCs with ping if you don't get a Website up right
away after changing the gateway. Just incase DNS gets in the way too.

I'm heading out to a couple customer sites, so I'll check in later today to
see how you are doing on it.

Thanks for using the newsgroups,
Steve
