Thanks for the Quick reply Marina and it's standard I have. Unfortunately,
this was as a favor for a friends business, lol, an I'm not there to get the
ipconfig. But if my memory is correct, here is what it should say:

Ipaddress : 192.168.1.2
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Dns: 192.168.1.2
Wins: 192.168.1.2

I did run the connect to internet wizard. As I stated below, what makes no
sense is that as soon as I enable RRA, I can ping all over. It's like the
server is acting as a router but I have no clue why.
