Re: Pinhole setup - "may not be on LAN network" - ?
do you have 1 cable from the 3546 going to the server, then a second cable from teh server to the switch, or are each directly connected to the 3546?
if both are directly connected, then your 3com IS a router, not a switch, and needs to be setup to be used as a switch. to do this, you would have to reprogram the 3com to turn off the DHCP server, set it's lan ip to something in the 192.168.1.254 range, and moce the cable from the 3546 to a LAN port on the 3com instead of the WAN port.
if it goes to the server first, then on to the switch, you have ICS enabled on the server and do not need it. i feel this is how you are setup currently. your 3546 IS a router, so there is no need for ICS.

Yes, the 3546 is only connected to the server, and a seperate cable goes from the server to the switch. I just researched ICS, and I don't think we are using that; this server was originally set up back when most of my office was on Win95 machines. Although those are gone, we still have some Win98 that aren't Second Edition, and ICS seems to require a minimum of Win98SE.
I believe that the internet sharing is being accomplished through Microsoft Proxy Server/Client 2.0. I don't want to accidentally blow all the other computers off of the internet. How should I deal with Microsoft Proxy?
