Century Link supplied us with new ZyXel PK5001Z modem\router. The router requires PPPoE login with no static IP.We have Windows SBS 2003 Server SP2 with 2 NICS. There is no router between the PK5001Z and the server. The PK5001Z is plugged directly into the server. I changed the IP on the PK5001Z from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 and put the device in "Transparent Bridge" mode. At the server I accesssed "Connect to the Internet" and set the Connection to "Broadband". I chose "A connection that requires a user name and password (PPPoE)". Clicked "New". PPPoe Connection name is "Small Business Broadband Connection". I entered my login credentials (user name & password) and clicked "next". Connection name is "Server Local Area Connection" IP 10.100.10.1 255.255.0.0
I tried to "Enable Firewall" but it failed. I tried to "Disable Firewall" and failed. I tried "Do not change Firewall configuration" but that failed too. So, I just continued... I followed all of the prompts regarding Exchange. Everything passed exept the Firewall.
Server now has "Limited or no Connection" on the "Network Connection" in network connections. The "Server Local Area Connection" is connected.
Workstations have internet access with a gateway of 10.100.10.1
Here is my the Servers IPCONFIG:
PPP adapter RAS Server (Dial In) Interface: 10.100.100.9 255.255.255.255 No Gateway is listed.
Ethernet Adapter Network Connection: 169.254.94.86 255.255.0.0 No Gateway is listed.
Ethernet adapter Server Local Area Connnection: 10.100.10.1 255.255.0.0 No Gateway is listed.
PPP adapter Small Business Broadband Connection: 174.124.13.214 255.255.255.255 Gateway 174.124.13.1.
I don't understand how we can access the Internet at all nor where I went wrong. Can someone please provide guidance?
