    Is there a way to forward email to an outside address?

    Matt, No, there is no gateway defined on the internal NIC, just a static IP address in the private (internal) range. The DNS server address of the internal NIC is set to the same private static IP address, with the alternate DNS address set to the localhost address (127.0.0.1). Cheers, Mike

    Network Lock-Up with Dual NICs

    Our office server (MS Small Business Server) has dual NICs, one for the internal LAN, the other to connect to the internet via an ADSL router/modem. All generally works fine, but occasionally (roughly once per week, but no deterministic pattern), the network connection between the server and...
