You are running a one NIC SBS on a public IP

Dude... you have no firewall on that server.

You know what.. the fact that the only side effect you are having is it
finding another DC out there is a testimony to Win2k3. On Win2k you
would have been owned by now.

Even a consumer grade nat box would provide you with blocking of
DHCP/FSMO role leakage between you and the outside world.

Get 'something' on that box.


Yes -- I am working on that separately -- any thoughts on a basic box to do
the job?

But I can't see where that will help me solve the immediate problem.
